ABSTRACT:
Remote configuration and utilization of a virtual tape management system with creation and management options. At least one security administrator CPU is communicably attached to a virtual tape management CPU. A pair of disk drives is communicably attached to the virtual tape management CPU and to the security administrator. First software within the virtual tape management CPU validates authorized remote access to said disk drives and encrypts the data. Second software facilitates remote configuration and utilization of the virtual tape management CPU. Third software provides tape image file processing including inspecting each remote data storage to determine if a file is present, opening the file, reading tape related information thereon, and reading from or writing to the disk arrays. Fourth software provides checker support for tape image files for enumerating tape image files on the disk drives, opening the tape image files, and reading the tape related information.
