hello,

with LTO 8 , you can read LTO 6, but if you want to copy only need 2 tape drives, one LTO 6 and LTO8.

do you have it?

Hello

You can use two different methods

Object Copy https://docs.microfocus.com/doc/Data_Protector/11.01/ObjectCopy

Media Copy https://docs.microfocus.com/doc/Data_Protector/11.01/MediaCopying

Best Regards

Media copy need the source media same as the target media , so it can't use to copy the data from LTO6 tape to LTO8 tape.Is it right  ?   

Correct. You cannot use media copy to copy from LT6 to LTO8. The best solution is to use object copy and doing so you can also reorganize source date while copying them (i.e. consolidate several LTO6 tape in one LTO8 tape).

Regards

Would you give me a guide which tell me how to do this step by step  ?

Thanks
