Causes of Tape Failure and Data Loss
- Corruption - operational error, mishandling of the tape or accidental overwrites caused by inserting or partially formatting the wrong tape
- Physical damage - broken tapes, dirty drives, expired tapes and damage caused by fire, flood or other natural disaster
- Software upgrades - inability for data on tape to be read by new application or servers
Tape Recovery Process
Data recovery for tape media is much more than simply replacing parts. The dedicated R&D staff at Ontrack Data Recovery has 20 years experience in building cutting edge tape recovery tools and data recovery processes.
- Tape recoveries are performed in dust-free cleanroom environments
- Tapes and tape drives are carefully dismounted, examined and processed
- Proprietary tools “force” the drive to read around the bad area to recover your tape data successfully
- Tapes are imaged, a copy of the disk is created, and recovered data is transferred to the new system
NOTICE: Attempting to recover tape data on your own, or through an inexperienced data recovery provider, may lead to further damage. Select a data recovery provider with resources, expertise and experience you can trust.
