Linear Tape File System (LTF)

Linear Tape File System (LTFS) is a self-describing magnetic tape format that defines the organization of data on the tape. Supporting LTO-5 and later LTO generations, data tapes written in the LTFS allow for direct access to file content data and file metadata. Accessing LTFS formatted tapes is similar to accessing files stored on other storage media like disk or removable flash drives. This format presents a standard file system view of the data stored on the tape media, allowing for users to access the data directly from tape.
