[pbs-devel] [PATCH proxmox-backup] docs: tape: clarify LTO-4/5 support

[Dominik Csapak <d.csapak@proxmox.com>]

some features we need (e.g. READ POSITION long form) are only officially
available with LTO-5, but work on many LTO-4 drives, so move LTO-4 to
'best-effort' support.

 Supported Hardware

-Proxmox Backup Server supports `Linear Tape-Open`_ generation 4 (LTO-4)
-or later.
+Proxmox Backup Server supports `Linear Tape-Open`_ generation 5 (LTO-5)
+or later and has best-effort support for generation 4 (LTO-4). While
+many LTO-4 systems are known to work, some might need firmware updates or
+do not implement necessary features to work with Proxmox Backup Server.
 
 Tape changing is carried out using the SCSI Medium Changer protocol,
 so all modern tape libraries should work.
