The invention of LTFS has indeed made life a lot easier for most
organizations which used to face problems with magnetic storage
tapes. These tapes did not allow the users to store the related
metadata in an easily accessible manner. But with the
introduction of Linear Tape File System, the scenario has
changed for the better. How has LTFS Revolutionized Data
Archiving? - This new technology from IBM has helped in reducing
costs related to archiving and data storage. - Easy access is
what has made this technology different from the older magnetic
tapes storage system. - Data can be used and stored since you
can access it across many different mediums and platforms. - The
universal nature of the media makes it more attractive to users
across the globe. - What's more is that you can use this as a
USB drive. You just need an LTO-5 drive to upload the LTFS tape
onto it. Then you can mount the tape on the file system. - It
allows you to tag files using any text. This in turn enables
you, as a user, to run searches
