Linear Tape-Open: Technology, History & Standards

Linear Tape-Open (LTO), also known as the LTO Ultrium format, is a magnetic tape data storage technology used for backup, data archiving, and data transfer. It was originally developed in the late 1990s as an open-standard alternative to the proprietary magnetic tape formats available at the time. Upon introduction, LTO rapidly defined the super tape…
