  • Tape backup and restore in a disk storage environment
    Patent number: 9116853
    Abstract: A command to write data to a disk location is received at a disk storage system. The data is written to the disk location and a record including the data, the disk location, and a sequence value is generated. The first sequence value indicates relative sequence when compared to other sequence values. The record is written to a record location on a tape cartridge loaded in a tape drive. Record metadata on the disk storage system is modified to indicate that the record location contains current data. Tape cartridges containing records may be used to restore data to disk storage.
