  • Replicating data to a plurality of replication devices through a tape device
    Patent number: 11983430
    Abstract: Provided are a computer program product, system, and method for replicating data to a plurality of replication devices through a tape device. A replication request is transmitted to a primary tape device to replicate data to a replication number of at least one replication device to store the data to replicate. The primary tape device stores the data to replicate in tape storage media at the primary tape device and transmits the data to replicate over a network to the replication number of at least one replication device to store. Acknowledgment is received from the primary tape device indicating that the data has been replicated to the primary tape device and the replication number of the at least one replication device.

  • TAPE DEVICE TO REPLICATE DATA TO A PLURALITY OF REMOTE STORAGE DEVICES
    Publication number: 20240045608
    Abstract: Provided are a computer program product, system, and method for a tape device to replicate data to a plurality of remote storage devices. A replication request is received from the computing device to replicate data to a replication number of at least one remote storage device of the remote storage devices over a network. The data to replicate is transmitted to the replication number of at least one remote storage device. At least one device acknowledgment from the at least one remote storage device indicating complete of writing the data to replicate is received. A replication acknowledgment is transmitted to the computing device indicating that the data in the replication request has been replicated in response to receiving the at least one device acknowledgment from the replication number of the at least one remote storage device.
