Can someone with expertise in cryptocurrency and finance please clarify for me whether LTO9 is capable of reading or accessing data from LTO7? As a non-technical individual, I'm curious to understand the compatibility and interoperability between these two systems, especially in terms of data storage and retrieval. Given the rapidly evolving nature of this field, I assume there might be specific protocols or standards that govern such interactions. Could you elaborate on the technical details involved in achieving this, if at all possible? Thank you for your time and assistance in clarifying this matter.

The LTO-8 drive, being the second-to-latest generation, is capable of reading and writing both LTO-8 and LTO-7 tapes.

However, due to its limited backwards compatibility, it is unable to read LTO-6 tapes.

Moving forward to the latest generation, the LTO-9 drive continues this trend of limited backwards compatibility.
