All tape drives have a buffer memory in which incoming data are stored. When a write command This paper describes a method for fast backups is accepted, as much data as possible is transferred and restores on tape drives. By using a tight into the buffer and the (slower) physical writing synchronization between disk and tape accesses, on the tape starts. When the last byte of data from the tota...
