    摘要: A backup method relies on a single secondary storage device, such as a tape storage device, which emulates multiple secondary storage devices. The emulated secondary storage devices are coupled to data sources. Data which is received from the data sources is tagged with respective unique identifiers, interleaved and stored on a removable storage medium, such as a tape. This facilitates maximum usage of the media access bandwidth of the single secondary storage device.

    摘要: The present disclosure provides embodiments of tape drive systems and methods. Briefly described, in architecture, one embodiment of a tape drive apparatus includes an interface for receiving a media access request and a unique identifier of a requestor. The tape drive apparatus also includes a data transfer apparatus for transferring data between a loaded tape cartridge and the tape drive apparatus. The data transfer apparatus is adapted to write a log entry to a log stored in a non-volatile memory of the tape cartridge, where the log entry includes at least the unique identifier. Other systems and methods are also provided.

    摘要: A data storage system comprising a server computer and a data storage medium. The server computer includes an interface, such as an iSCSI interface, for communicating with a host computer. In response to receiving data from the host computer, the server computer determines whether or not the host computer has access to a virtual data storage device. If the host computer does not have access to a virtual data storage device, the server computer provides a virtual data storage device for access by the host computer, the virtual data storage device employing at least a portion of the data storage medium such that data stored to the virtual data storage device are stored to the portion of the data storage medium.
