PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method and a system for tracking a storage medium in which the tracking error is minimized in the tape motion in the horizontal direction. SOLUTION: The method and the system for tracking a storage medium comprises a step in which light is directed through a first main side of a magnetic recording tape, the tape includes optically detectable indices detected optically, and the indices are embedded within the tape during formation of the indices. At least a portion of the light may be detected after passing through the first side of the tape, and a change in the position of the tape based on the detected light may be determined.
