As Easy As Drag And Drop
Linear Tape File System (LTFS) makes viewing and accessing tape files easier than ever before.
LTFS works in conjunction with LTO technology technology’s {partitioning feature} for ease of use and portability for open systems tape storage. With LTFS, one partition holds the content and the other holds the content’s index, so the tape can be self-describing to improve archive management.
With the operating system’s graphical file manager and directory tree, utilizing data on an LTO Ultrium tape cartridge is as easy as dragging and dropping the file from a USB flash drive.
Learn more about LTFS in our White Papers and Reports section or by watching the video.
