A tape-type magnetic recording medium, includes a substrate; and a magnetic layer provided on the substrate. The magnetic recording medium is configured such that (1) (w.sub.maxw.sub.min)/w.sub.min400 [ppm] where w.sub.max and w.sub.min are respectively maximum and minimum of average values of width of the magnetic recording medium measured under four environments whose temperature and relative humidity are (10 C., 10%), (10 C., 80%), (29 C., 80%), and (45 C., 10%), respectively, and the magnetic layer has a squareness ratio of 65% or more in the vertical direction, and (2) 4.4T.sub.B/(T.sub.AT.sub.B) where T.sub.A is an average thickness of the magnetic recording medium and T.sub.B is an average thickness of the substrate.

A data storage library is described that protects against a malware attack by providing a scheduled write window of time where archive data can be written to tape cartridges in the tape library on behalf of a client. At times outside of the write window, the tape library is disabled from writing any archive data to any of the tape cartridges in the tape library. Accordingly, the tape library is protected from a malicious entity attempting to download malware to tape cartridges in the tape library outside of the designated write windows. The tape library is configured to provide or otherwise read archived data from a tape cartridge both in the write window and outside of the write window.

A component accommodating body managing apparatus includes a preparation component extractor, a management storage, and a storage instructing unit. The storage instructing unit generates and transmits storage instruction of the component accommodating body that is stored in the component accommodating body storeroom, based on the preparing number of components, which is extracted by the preparation component extractor, and the accommodating number of components, which is stored in the management storage. Further, the storage instructing unit instructs the component accommodating body storeroom that the accommodating number of components in the component accommodating body that is to be stored in the component accommodating body storeroom henceforth satisfies the preparing number of components.

A method and system for adjusting a servo head in a tape drive is disclosed. Position information for the servo head can be obtained and used to determine if an adjustment of one of the servo heads is necessary. By comparing the position of the tape against two servo heads, erroneous adjustments to the servo head can be obviated.
