  • Method and system for emulating tape storage format using a non-tape storage medium
    Publication number: 20040098244
    Abstract: A system is described including a data tape cartridge carrying a non-tape storage medium, and a tape drive emulator that receives the data tape cartridge and stores data on the medium in a format that emulates a tape storage format. The tape drive emulator sequentially records the data within the logical storage areas of the non-tape storage medium, and maintains a library of tape marks on the storage medium to indicate locations within the stored data files. The library of tape marks may indicate, for example, file marks, sequential file marks, block marks, and other demarcations within the stored data. The tape drive emulator makes use of the library of tape marks to access the non-tape storage medium in response to tape access commands from a host computing devices.
