Abstract
A computer-implemented method, apparatus and computer-program product for writing data to a tape data storage medium. The method comprises providing a system service that an application invokes to handle data synchronization events associated with writing a group of files to the tape medium; keeping track of the files and data blocks in each file while writing the files to the tape medium based on file boundaries; and responsive to a data writing failure, invoking the system service to determine the files affected by the data writing failure.
