Abstract: A portable data storage cartridge, comprising a housing and a data storage medium disposed within the housing. The portable data storage cartridge further comprises a first label reciting an identifier disposed on a front portion of the housing, and a second label displaying said identifier at one or more places disposed on a side portion of said housing. A plurality of portable data storage cartridges can be disposed in a storage slot dimensioned to accommodate (N) portable data storage cartridges in a row. The storage slot is formed to include (N?1) visualization apertures extending through a side. In addition, the storage slot further comprises (N?1) reflective members, where each reflective member comprises a first end attached to the side with a second end extending outwardly from that side.

Abstract: An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for archiving log data. In one embodiment, an allocation module allocates a plurality of log logical volumes in a storage pool for storing copies of log instances. The log logical volumes may be hidden from a user. A log module records log data to at least one first log instance in a cache. A copy module transparently copies the at least one first log instance to a first log logical volume of a plurality of log logical volumes in a storage pool when a copy policy is satisfied. The log module further records the log data to at least one second log instance in the cache, overwriting the at least one first log instance. In one embodiment, a selection module selects a second log logical volume of the plurality of log logical volumes to receive the copied at least one second log instance if the first log logical volume satisfies a wrap policy.
