Is there a way that files stored in Tapes can be directly accessed?
According to what I have read, you can only directly access the files stored in a tape if you have loaded the tape in your system and mounted it. The tape should be virtually mounted before you can access its files. In the accessing process, the files are accessible through the virtual mount (meaning it has been loaded into its respective directory and the operating system can recognize and look/search for it). Its mount provides efficient storing and organizing process of its files for easier and faster access.
