4mm to DLT tape conversion

Hello all!

When the company that I work for started up a few years ago, the only tape
drive that was used for the DEC Alpha systems was a TLZ6L-DA, 4mm tape
drive. This was used for about 2 years before the DLT TZ885 tape drive was
purchased, and we have one copy of about 20-30 permanent archive tapes on
4mm. Now whenever we make our archive backups, we put the info to 4mm and
DLT (2 copies of DLT) tapes; one copy goes off site and one stays on site.

What I want to do is put a copy of all of the 4mm tapes that were created
before we got the DLT tape drive to DLT tapes. It really bothers me that we
only have one copy of info that's supposed to be archived forever. We have
used Networker to make almost all of our backups, and I'm not for certain
what would be the best way to go about doing this. Does anyone have any
suggestions?

Thanks!
