Example apparatus and methods concern a file system based interface between a disk-based network attached storage device and a linear tape open (LTO) linear tape file system tape. One example method may include controlling a device (e.g., backup server) to read a file from the NAS device using a shared file system (e.g., NFS, CIFS) and controlling the device to write the file to the LTO tape device using the LTFS. Since the NAS device and the LTO device may have different information or metadata requirements, and since the shared file system and the LTFS may have different information or metadata requirements, the method may include controlling the device to remove from the file information specific to the NAS and the shared file system. Additionally, the method may include controlling the device to add to the file information specific to the LTFS or the LTO device. |
