LTO5 and up support LTFS. But all support Tar and BareOS.
Software
Tar
See LTO Tape
LTFS
Build from the upstream source code rather than using vendor source code, which sucks. A handy source rpm is provided.

BareOS
Not an operating system, but an enterprise backup system with tape as one key storage backend. Does not require LTFS.
