ABSTRACT:
A method is described which provides various new data storage system capabilities by using data storage structures within industry standard (or other pre-existing) formats used with data recording devices employing removable media. The data storage structures used by the present method comprise formats which contain regions previously marked as "contents of this region are not of interest" or marked as "no data was recorded within this region". These data storage structures are thus transparent to present data recording devices so as not to disrupt their data processing functions. However, the data storage structures are available to be used by new data recording devices (or old devices that have been updated) so that new data embedded therein may be used to enhance the functionality of the system which utilizes the data storage structures. The types of embedded data may include ECC (error correction codes), tape position information, audit information, security information, mount history, media defect history, authentication notation, generation-identification notation, etc.
