STORE and RESTORE let you store and restore files using either labeled or unlabeled tapes. All TurboSTORE options, except sequential, are supported for both formats and there is no performance penalty for using either format.

The use of labeled tape offers the following advantages:

  1. Tapes are self identifying.

  2. Automatic Volume Recognition (AVR) will eliminate need for operator replies to media requests.

  3. TurboSTORE provides hooks for third party tape management systems.
