# Class CIM_TapeMetaData
extends CIM_SettingData

CIM_TapeMetaData represents backup-application-proprietary meta data that needs to be written or read to/from tape. It is composed of the following attributes: - An array of strings encoded in hex binary (using the Octetstring qualifier). - An integer value representing the number of file marks preceding meta data. - An integer value representing the number of file marks following meta data. - An array of integers indicating the size (in bytes) of each block of binary data.
