Linear Tape File System
(LTFS)
HP LTFS makes tape self-describing, file-based, and easy-to-use, it also provides users with the ability
to use standard file operations on tape media for accessing, managing and sharing files with an
interface that behaves just like a hard disk. In addition, LTFS provides the ability to share data across
platforms, as you would with a USB drive or memory stick. Simply load a tape into the drive, mount it
into the file system, and it becomes visible as a disk. For more information, including user guide,
downloads and compatibility, visit: http://www.hp.com/go/ltfs
HP StoreOpen
Automation
HP StoreOpen Automation is a free downloadable application that extends the LTFS capability to HP
Autoloaders, HP MSL and ESL Tape Libraries. By simply mounting the tape autoloader or library as a
file system, the intuitive HP StoreOpen Automation interface makes it easier to copy, rename, create
or move files. When a cartridge folder is selected for use, that tape is automatically moved to an
available tape drive.
When two drives are present, HP StoreOpen Automation supports tape-to-tape operations. HP
StoreOpen Automation takes advantage of other standard HP Tape Library features including data
encryption and HP TapeAssure.
