Quantum Product Support

Linear Tape File System

Among the benefits of Quantum LTFS are:

  • Ease of use – Simply drag and drop files to and from tape
  • Fast access - Once you load a tape, the directories and files are displayed on your screen directory, without the need to run backup software first. You never need to rebuild a catalog.
  • File portability - Since the information written to tape is self-contained, data recovery is independent of hardware or software platforms. Tapes can be exchanged easily between different operating systems and software.

System Requirements

  • Linux or Mac OS X (see Supported Operating Systems link)
  • Quantum LTO-5 tape drive with firmware V3082 or greater and an LTO-5 tape
  • Linux FUSE kernel mode subsystem or MacFUSE module
  • If you are using xTalk for drive diagnostics, version 6.4.1.1 or greater supports LTFS.
  • NOTE: Quantum Technical Support can only provide support for Quantum’s LTFS using the Quantum drive.
