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

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

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

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

just a lightweight wrapper around a TAR archive, implemented as a directory containing batches of (possibly multi-volume) TAR files along with index files
