Description

Tape cartridges can be mounted and browsed more like a filesystem when compatible LTFS hardware is available.

This package is useful for administrators and archivists managing data on linear tape. It is tape-storage infrastructure, not a normal backup application with scheduling.

Tape media is slow and operationally sensitive. Confirm drive support, media state, and backup procedures before writing data.

How to run
