The answer is YES

Most importantly, the LTO format ensures that your investment today will continue to pay off for years to come. LTO specifications provide backwards compatibility to read/write with previous generations.



LTO drive generations 1-7 are able to read tapes from two generations prior and are able to write to tapes from the prior generation.


LTO-8 drives can read and write to LTO-7 and LTO-8 media, including
LTO-7 Type M.


LTO-9 drives can read and write to LTO-8 and LTO-9 media only.


With a published roadmap, LTO technology allows you to better forecast how to address your future technology as you consider your needs today.
