Vault uses the SURF [Data Archive]{:target=_blank} tape storage. The tape storage system that is used by Data Archive organizes files in a file-folder
8080
structure, so in principle serialization should be the same as to a disk-based files system, from OCFL's perspective. However, the tape storage system requires
8181
a minimum file size of 1GB, which is much larger than the typical data file stored in the DANS Data Vault. To meet this requirement, the OCFL repositories are

stored as a series of DMFTAR archives, each of which is larger than 1GB. Each archive forms a layer.

To restore the OCFL repository, the layers must be extracted in the correct order. For a more detailed description of the layers, see the documentation

Even without the `dmftar` utility, it is possible to read the OCFL repository, as long as the layers are extracted in the correct order. A DMFTAR archive is
9191
just a lightweight wrapper around a TAR archive, implemented as a directory containing batches of (possibly multi-volume) TAR files along with index files
9292
and a checksum file.
