Controlling data writing of tape recording apparatus |
摘要 |
A method according to another embodiment includes writing data on a tape medium in a direction from a first end toward a second end of the tape medium using a tape recording apparatus. The tape recording apparatus includes a magnetic head and is configured to record data on tape media. The method further includes wrap-turning the running direction of the tape medium before reaching the second end and writing a first portion of data remaining to be written when the data remaining to be written is smaller than a volume of the data to be written in one running of the tape medium so that an end of the data is written at a position close to the first end, and writing a second portion of data remaining to be written toward the first end. |

1. A method, comprising:
writing data on a tape medium in a direction from a first end toward a second end of the tape medium using a tape recording apparatus, wherein the tape recording apparatus comprises a magnetic head and is configured to record data on tape media; wrap-turning a running direction of the tape medium a first time when the magnetic head reaches the second end of the tape medium; writing the data on the tape medium in a direction toward the first end; wrap-turning the running direction of the tape medium a second time when the magnetic head reaches the first end after the first wrap-turn and performing a subsequent data writing; and wrap-turning the running direction of the tape medium a third time before reaching the second end and writing a first portion of data remaining to be written after the second wrap-turn when the data remaining to be written in the subsequent data writing is smaller than a volume of the data to be written in one running of the tape medium so that an end of the data is written at a position close to the first end, and writing a second portion of data remaining to be written after the second wrap-turn toward the first end. |
