PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a tape streamer which can process data recorded by a data recorder without burdening a host computer with load, and can also be used as a generally usable device. SOLUTION: The tape streamer A reproduces the data in a magnetic tape 210 recorded by a data recorder from the head, and when the tape streamer A detects a data (area 210A) recorded on this magnetic tape 210, it outputs this data to the other tape streamer B, and copies it onto a new (unrecorded) magnetic tape 220. Next, when an unrecorded area 210B is detected in the tape streamer A, this part is judged as a gap, and a FM(film mark) is inserted therein, and it is outputted to the tape streamer B. Moreover, when the tape is reproduced up to the end, EOD(end of data) is added to the data, and the data are outputted to the tape streamer B.
