VTLs are represented as directories on the disk. Each VTL contains three directories: drives, slots, and media. These directories contain numbered subdirectories. The virtual drives reside as files in the drives subdirectories. These files contain links to the media files. The virtual tapes reside as media files in the media directory. When a virtual tape is moved between slot and drive, the media file itself stays in the media directory, while the drives and slots files are modified to emulate the moving of the media.
