Abstract
What is disclosed is process for backing data objects from a content addressed storage system to a tape storage device such that the data objects are written in a contiguous sequential fashion. Data objects are kept together on the storage medium, rather than fragmented. An embodiment of the present invention describes the software modules and memory buffers required to implement this process. Additionally, what is disclosed is a process that restores data objects that have been contiguously written to tape. According to one embodiment of the present invention, recovery of non-fragmented data objects is made more efficient and less prone to failure.
