Conventional data copying devices between recording media devices, for example, when transferring and copying data stored in a magnetic tape device to another storage media device, perform physical copying only to the magnetic tape device that is the same type of recording media device. It was possible to do so.

[Problem A to be Solved by the Invention] Therefore, the data copying device between recording media devices of the present invention can copy data between different types of recording media devices, for example, from a magnetic tape device to a floppy disk device, or from a magnetic tape device to a cassette magnetic tape device. However, when copying, it is not possible to edit the recorded data at any time. For this reason, when data conversion processing is performed between different types of recording media devices connected to a computer system, a very large number of man-hours are required in terms of operation.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to provide an inter-recording medium device data copying device that eliminates the above-mentioned drawbacks and is capable of copying data between different types of recording medium devices and also allows editing of data.

The editing processing section refers to the conversion information and stores the data input from the input recording medium device in the storage section as a pre-conversion storage file, with reference to the conversion information. The data of the previous storage file is edited and stored in the storage unit as a converted storage file, and the output processing unit records the data of the converted storage file in the output recording medium device with reference to the conversion information. It is characterized by

It is used by the output processing unit 8 and becomes file management information. Register the exchange information storage file, pre-conversion storage file, and converted storage file. By storing files that store conversion target data in this random storage unit 3, files that have physical commonality can be created, and the data can be transferred to different types of recording media devices using the save format of the files in the random storage unit. It becomes possible to transfer.

The maintenance section 5 of the central processing unit 4 performs maintenance by registering or rewriting the conversion information from the display device 1 and the input device 2 in an exchange information storage file provided in the random storage section 3. This conversion information includes an input record layout, an output record layout, and conversion process information of the data to be converted.

The input processing unit 6 converts the conversion target data input from the magnetic tape device 9, which is an input device for data conversion, by referring to the exchange information registered in the exchange information storage file of the random storage unit 3. is registered in the pre-conversion storage file of the random storage unit 3.

The editing processing unit 7 refers to the exchange information stored in the exchange information storage file in the random storage unit 3, edits the data to be converted in the pre-conversion storage file in the random storage unit 3 using a program function, and stores the data in the random storage unit 3. 3. Store in the converted storage file.

The output processing unit 8 refers to the exchange information registered in the exchange information storage file of the random storage unit 3 and serves as an output device for converting target data in the converted storage file of the random storage unit 3 as a physical image. Random storage unit 10 and cassette) [Output to tape device 11.
