AWS Storage Gateway now provides retrieval of archived virtual tapes in as little as 3-5 hours, adds additional virtual tape information, and adds cached volume cloning

For tape gateway users, you can now retrieve archived virtual tapes into your Virtual Tape Library (VTL) in as little as 3-5 hours. Prior to this launch, tape retrieval could take up to 24 hours. This faster access can help you speed up recovery of archived data. Additionally, to help you manage your virtual tapes, we have enhanced the tape gateway console and API to show the date and time a tape was created, and the amount of data written to each virtual tape.
