Drivers and Firmware
Library drivers, firmware directories, and LTO support resources.
This directory consolidates the current Windows library drivers, IBM LTO support links, and Qualstar firmware directories in one place. Use the exact package that matches your library family and operating system.
Before you download
Many backup platforms install or certify their own drivers. Confirm the recommended package with your application vendor, reseller, or Qualstar support contact before updating a production environment.
