Abstract
A method according to another embodiment includes writing data on a tape medium in a direction from a first end toward a second end of the tape medium using a tape recording apparatus. The tape recording apparatus includes a magnetic head and is configured to record data on tape media. The method further includes wrap-turning the running direction of the tape medium before reaching the second end and writing a first portion of data remaining to be written when the data remaining to be written is smaller than a volume of the data to be written in one running of the tape medium so that an end of the data is written at a position close to the first end, and writing a second portion of data remaining to be written toward the first end.
