File system for rolling back data on tape
TL;DR: In this paper, a management tape has only index files recorded thereon, and the index files contain information about start positions and lengths of corresponding data files recorded on normal tapes, and further contain identification information for the normal tapes.

TL;DR: In this article, a write/read control method for recording at least one dataum on a magnetic tape within a predetermined distance is provided, which includes sequentially accumulating a plurality of blocks of data of variable length in a buffer divided into fixed length segments and writing the contents of each segment to the tape.
Patent
Tape Recorder And Tape Recording That Increases Empty Tape Area Without Loss of Necessary Data
TL;DR: In this article, a tape recorder that has a tape including at least one partition and that controls access to the tape is defined. The tape recorder includes: means for identifying a position of data on the tape, means for sequentially reading necessary data areas in the data; means for creating a continuous front empty area formed of unnecessary data areas, and means for moving a beginning-of-the-partition (BOP) to a position immediately after an empty area and for updating the position information on the beginning of the partition.
Patent
Method for reading file using plurality of tape media
TL;DR: In this article, a storage system includes a plurality of tape drives connected to a host, and a buffer configured to temporarily hold data read from the drives, and the mechanism determines a medium that takes the shortest time to move from a current position of a read head of a corresponding drive to a beginning position of the file and one or more media from which following data portions of the beginning data portion are to be read.
Patent
Method for Writing File on Tape Medium that can be Read at High Speed
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a mechanism for writing a file on a tape medium in a manner that enables high-speed reading, where a predetermined format is applied to the medium that divides the medium into a first region of a predetermined length in a longitudinal direction from a region of the medium, and a second region that extends from an end of the first region to a terminal region on a transverse direction.
