Claim Text:
1. A magnetic tape storage medium, comprising: at least one servo band with at least two sub-bands along a longitudinal extension of the tape storage medium; servo bursts written to the at least two sub-bands for supporting to determine positional information of the tape storage medium; wherein, in a first of the at least two sub-bands, a first burst comprises at least one servo stripe inclined at a first non-zero angle with respect to a direction orthogonal to the longitudinal extension of the tape storage medium, followed by a second burst comprising at least one servo stripe inclined at a second non-zero angle with respect to the direction orthogonal to the longitudinal extension of the tape storage medium, which second angle is different from the first angle; wherein, in a second of the at least two sub-bands, a first burst comprises at least one servo stripe followed by a second burst comprising at least one servo stripe, which stripes of the first and the second burst are parallel to each other wherein a third of the at least two sub-bands comprises a first burst comprising at least one servo stripe followed by a second burst comprising at least one servo stripe which stripes of the first and the second burst of the third sub-band are parallel to each other and the first sub-band is arranged between the third sub-band and the second sub-band.
