Nearline is intended for use with relatively large files and should not be used for large numbers of small files.  In fact, files smaller than a certain threshold size may not be moved to tape at all.  Files smaller than ~200MB should be combined into archive files (''tarballs'') using [[Archiving and compressing files|tar]] or a similar tool.

[https://docs.scinet.utoronto.ca/index.php/HPSS HPSS] is the name of the Nearline service at [[Niagara]].  At [[Graham]] the service is called "nearline".  Work is underway at [[Cedar]] and [[Béluga]], which will have implementations that resemble Graham's.
