    please expand on what you mean by an LTO backup. I have not heard the term before. Is it 3rd party software?

    The LTO Ultrium format is the super tape technology of choice because it delivers a powerful, scalable, adaptable open tape format.

    LTO is a high-capacity tape.

    An Ultrium format Generation 4 cartridge has a capacity of up to 1.6 TB (2:1 compression) and up to 800 GB native, while the Ultrium format Generation 3 has a capacity of up to 800 GB (2:1 compression) and up to 400 GB native. Capacity for LTO Ultrium Generation 2 format cartridges reaches up to 400 GB (2:1 compression) and up to 200 GB native.

    My query is whether this type of device is supported by SQL Server 2005 to perform backups. If the answer yes I like to know what versions of SQL Server 2005 (eg, Standart, etc)

    SQL server has nothing to do with this. It will send data to whatever disk or tape system that Windows can see. If Windows supports it, SQL will.
