Abstract
An apparatus-implemented method according to one embodiment includes detecting an error while writing data to a tape volume on a tape and repositioning the tape in response to detecting the error. A determination whether a rewrite of data associated with the error to the tape volume is allowed is made based on a current position of the tape after the repositioning. The data is rewritten to the tape volume in response to determining that the rewrite of data associated with the error to the tape volume is allowed. A computer program product for protecting overwrite of a tape volume according to another embodiment includes a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions readable and/or executable by a controller to cause the controller to perform the foregoing method.
