Claim 18:
19. A system for at least one of writing data to tape media and reading data from the tape media, the system comprising:
a client application; and
a RESTful interface through which the client application transmits requests to write data to the tape media and read data from the tape media to a REST daemon;
wherein the client application initiates a first request to write data to the tape media via a REST call to the REST daemon via the RESTful interface, the client application initiates a second request to read data from the tape media via a REST call to the REST daemon via the RESTful interface, the REST daemon subsequently passes the request on to a data mover via an internal interface, the data mover subsequently opens a second RESTful interface with the client application, the client application then sends the requests to write data to the tape media and read data from the tape media to the data mover via the second RESTful interface between the data mover and the client application, for the first request to write data to the tape media, the data mover reads the data from the client application, and then writes the data to the tape media via a SCSI interface, for the second request to read data from the tape media, the data mover reads the data from the tape media via the SCSI interface, and then sends the data to the client application, the data that is written to the tape media and read from the tape media never lands on primary storage during movement between the client application and the tape media; and the RESTful interface is integrated with a SCSI interface.
