Abstract: Systems and methods for managing data with respect to tape storage are provided. The system includes a data manager for receiving metadata related to content and for generating a proxy file system which mirrors the data structure of the content data. The system further includes a server coupled to a tape device, the server receiving the content data directly from a data source and providing the content data the tape device for storage on a formatted tape media.

Abstract: A system and method for representing point-in-time data on a common viewing plane are presented. A representation of data is displayed in a display window of a graphical user interface. The representation includes two or more different representations of different versions of the data, each different version having a creation time and a last-modified time. A unique graphical element is applied to each different representation of the different versions of the data within the display window according to the creation time.

Abstract: A remote collaboration tool, system and method are presented. The remote collaboration tool can be hosted by a collaboration computer for enabling collaborative communication of rich media files between a server connected with a rich media data source and a plurality of client computers over a network. The remote collaboration tool includes a locking mechanism for locking all subsequent versions of a rich media file that has been requested by one of the plurality of client computers. The remote collaboration tool further includes a synchronization engine for synchronizing the requested rich media file with all subsequent versions of the rich media file to generate a synchronized rich media file for storage in the rich media data source.
