Abstract
A method for utilizing an object storage system () for storing and retrieving a volume of data, the volume of data including a plurality of data objects, the method includes the steps of accumulating the volume of data to an ingest area () provided within a non-taped-based storage medium; copying a first subset of the plurality of data objects to a first tape medium (A); and copying a second subset of the plurality of data objects to a second tape medium (B) that is independent of the first tape medium (A). The method can further include managing the object storage system () with object storage software () to perform one or more of (i) generating a first extent parity that contains redundant information from the first subset of the plurality of data objects using erasure coding; and writing the first extent parity to the first tape medium (A); (ii) generating a second extent parity that contains redundant information from the second subset of the plurality of data objects using erasure coding; and writing the second extent parity to the second tape medium (B); and (iii) generating a volume parity that contains redundant information from the volume of data using erasure coding; and writing the volume parity to a third tape medium (C) that is independent of the first tape medium (A) and the second tape medium (B).
