Cloud Tape Connector also supports the use of the IBM Virtual Tape Facility for Mainframe (VTFM) to "vault" tapes, which saves virtual tape data to disk. Through module CUZ#APIB, VTFM can save data to and retrieve data from any cloud defined in Cloud Tape Connector. See Using the Cloud Connector batch API for more information on module CUZ#APIB.
