Nearline is a filesystem virtualized onto tape

Nearline storage is a hybrid disk/tape filesystem with a layout like Project, which however uses its hybrid nature to take advantage of both the the large amount of inexpensive storage available by tape and the rapid access to data that disk offers. You can move your less frequently needed data to tape, where they will no longer count against your project space quota. If you later need these files, you can recall them from tape back to disk with a delay ranging from a few minutes up to an hour or two.
