==Nearline is a filesystem virtualized onto tape== <!--T:1-->
Nearline storage is  a disk-tape hybrid filesystem with a layout like [[Project layout|Project]], except that it can virtualize files by moving them to tape-based storage on criteria like age and size, and then back again upon read or recall operations. This is a way to manage less used files. On tape, the files do not consume your disk quota, but they can still be accessed, albeit slower than on the home, scratch and project filesystems.
