ABSTRACT:
A method of retensioning a tape pack in a two-hub, belt-driven data cartridge, wherein the tape pack includes tape having one or more tracks, includes sensing at least one position of a track of the tape within the data cartridge and then conditionally retensioning the tape pack as a function of the at least one sensed track position. The retensioning may be determined by comparing the sensed position of the track to at least one predetermined limit; the predetermined limit being based on statistical data. A drive apparatus for performing the retensioning method is also described.
