DLTSage WORM 3
DLTSage WORM is the firmware compliance management function of
DLTSage. This feature uses a Write Once, Read Many (WORM)
functionality, which allows you to securely archive data stored on a
DLTtape S4 cartridge written on a DLT-S4 tape drive. The firmware
allows you to append data to a cartridge, but you cannot rewrite,
reformat, or erase the data.
DLTSage WORM firmware is a standard feature of the DLT-S4 tape drive
and the DLTtape S4 cartridge. See Formatting a Cartridge as DLTSage
WORM on page 35 for instructions on how to create a WORM cartridge.

Feature Description
Security The tape drive’s firmware places an electronic signature key on each cartridge to
ensure that data written to the media cannot be rewritten, reformatted, or erased.
• The key is a unique identifier that cannot be altered.
• The firmware allows you to append new data to the cartridge.
• The cartridge initialization process assures that only unformatted cartridges will
be WORM enabled.
Verification The verification is a two-part process.
• The DLT-S4 tape drive provides best-of-class verification through its ECC
algorithms.
• The firmware provides archive media verification and tamper verification with
time and date signatures.
