IBM Spectrum Archive
The IBM Spectrum Archive linear tape file system (previously known as LTFS) is a file system that works
with LTO Generation tape technology to access data stored on an IBM tape cartridge.
IBM Spectrum Archive uses the file system’s format and resources of the operating system (OS) on which
it is running to graphically display the contents of a tape cartridge in the OS’s graphical user interface
(GUI) format; typically a folder/tree structure. With the host operating system’s graphical File Manager,
reading data on an LTO tape cartridge is as easy as dragging and dropping. Users can run any
application that is designed for disk files against tape data without concern for the fact that the data is
physically stored on tape.
