Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Various embodiments for autonomic reclamation of data stored on at least one sequential storage media are provided. In one exemplary embodiment, active data stored on the at least one sequential storage media is identified. The active data is read out from a reclamation memory. The active data is stored in a sequential order by starting at a beginning block address of the at least one sequential storage media.
