If I shut down the system and turning on and off is what making the system on itself.

Actually, I see only wake for network access which is off by default. I haven’t touched it.

Taking your suggestion I have contacted Tandberg dealer from Mumbai. They have responded very quickly and provided me all the information very generously unlike any other brand dealer.

I was missed to understand one point about LTO-8 drive that it won’t read back LTO-6 media. So I planned and all set to make purchase and last night while I am going through another post I realized this and decided it is not the drive suitable for my current need.

I am now going with 7th generation drive to read back my old LTO-6 media.

@Jerry Zbyslaw

Thank you very much for your clarity. Then there is only one choice left for me to go for LTO-7 drive and later to LTO-9. I may miss M8 media. But can’t throw out all the LTO-6.

@Martin

So that are you saying that LTO-8 drive reads the LTO-6 BaFe media? Did you checked it?

I am just planning to purchase an 8th generation drive. I wasn’t aware of this compatibility issue until today. I was thinking that it would work like the earlier generation drives. I am about to order the drive on Monday. I was just going through the Tandberg web page and found it. They didn’t mentioned LTO-6 in specifications.

I have around 500tb of clients data in IBM LTO-6 BaFe media which may be asked by the client in future. I just went to know that 8th generation drive don’t read back LTO-6 media. I am really worried now.

If any one has already checked this please confirm. Thank you.

I have been through all the possibilities it seems but finally couldn’t find a solution. Brand support finally responded and suggested me to go for a new drive as per the symptoms.

I don’t know where you are from. If you are from USA try contacting Tim Gerhard, Magstor Inc who is providing services for drives. He may help you. Fingers crossed.

I am finally going for a new 8 th generation drive. Backing up all the 6th generation tapes back to disks and renting a 6th generation drive to do that for now.

@Tim Gerhard

Thank you for your response. My work is doing backups of redraw, arriraw, panasonic varicam and sony camera footages for the producers and hand them over to them for the future reference. And they are expecting the backups should be in open format, So that they could check them anytime even I am not available. So I can’t go for BRU because the tape archived through BRU can’t be opened with out the same application.

I hope all the other backup applications are the similar once. I have only checked BRU trial version.

I am regular mac os user windows is not my kind of thing. I just moved to windows to check my previous drive which is having a hardware issue.

@Tim Gerhard

Thank you for your suggestion.

As per your suggestion I can purchase the drive from quantum, As I can see some resellers are here. But we are in lack of service providers here in India. That is becoming the main issue. If I have an issue I need to send it back to the company through fedex or ups with our own expenses.

Only the brands that are providing onsite service national wise in India are IBM, HP & DELL. I went through IBM already. I am tired of their irresponsibility.

The distributor where we bought equipment frequently was suggested for DELL. I just spoke with a support executive from DELL and he did confirm that they are not currently supporting for mac os x.

I am also contacting OVERLAND TANDBERG reseller today. Let me check with them if they are providing service or not here in India.

@ Neil Sadwelkar

Thank you very much for you suggestion. I will try using the trial version of the applications. And yes I am connecting the drive to mac using Atto R680 with the latest driver available. I will also consider fcpguru from mumbai. I will ask his support too. Thank you.
