摘要： A method for efficiently saving data to tape, preferably within the ANSI X3.27 standard format sends signals to the tape drive to allow the tape drive to buffer the required tape marks, which the standard requires. Although the standard presumed these would be required for synchronization and would be written when produced, we do not adhere to that thinking. Instead we synchronize only at the logical end of the application constructed file, or at the end of the tape in one embodiment, saving time in writing through avoiding stop-start activities of the tape drive, thus allowing newer tape drives to take advantage of the features of the ANSI X3.27 standard. We also provide an embodiment, which allows for non-ANSI standard (i.e., unlabeled) tapes to be used.

摘要翻译： 一种用于将数据有效地保存到磁带的方法，最好在ANSI X3.27标准格式下将信号发送到磁带驱动器，以允许磁带驱动器缓冲标准所要求的磁带标记。 虽然推测这些标准是同步需要的标准，但是在生产时将会被写入，但我们并不坚持这种想法。 相反，我们仅在应用程序构造的文件的逻辑端进行同步，或者在一个实施例中在磁带的末端，通过避免磁带驱动器的停止启动活动来节省写入时间，从而允许较新的磁带驱动器利用 ANSI X3.27标准的特性。 我们还提供了允许使用非ANSI标准（即未标记）带的实施例。
