Assuming I've archive to LTO-5 LTFS, or is all LTO-5 LTFS?, and I've also archived to a raw HD. What is the time difference in retrieving data back if I need to fix a 3 shot section in an hour show? Will those LTFS LTO-5 drives appear like a media drive so I could in theory consolidate the necessary media back to my normal storage to do the fix?
