YoYotta v4 was released in April 2023 and is available on subscription.
v3 licenses can be traded in for a discount against v4 subscriptions.

LTFS and macFUSE with macOS 26

IBM, HPE and QUANTUM LTFS will not install with recent macFUSE versions and older macFUSE versions will not install on macOS 26.
The solution is to upgrade to YoYotta v4 as it includes an LTFS that works with the latest macFUSE.

Having LTFS mounting issues with macOS Ventura or newer ?

If tapes are not mounting using the latest macOS versions then it might be an issue with the LTFS framework.
Check the crash logs in the Apple Console app to see if there are LTFS crash reports.
YoYotta v4 includes a new native LTFS framework with support for all makes and generations of LTO drives with the latest macOS versions on both Intel and Apple silicon Macs.
If running v3 contact support@yoyotta.com to find out how to trade in your license for credit against a YoYotta v4 subscription.

How to migrate projects from v2

v3 and v4 use a new project format, if there are only have a few tapes and hard drives, then it's quick to reindex them.
This is best as YoYotta now includes every file in the stored snapshot, whereas v2 only indexed common video, audio and metadata files.
