1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
copying data stored on a Linear Tape File System (LTFS)-based storage system from the LTFS-based storage system to blocks of a Random Access Nonvolatile Memory (RANVM) drive,
wherein the data is copied in units of the blocks of the drive,
wherein the data includes file data,
wherein positions at which the file data is written to blocks on the LTFS-based storage system is managed by the LTFS-based storage system according to block numbers in a same manner as file data is managed by the drive.
