It is a common practice to back up systems to tape drives. They are fast, convenient and are high capacity. However, tapes can fail for the same reasons as other magnetic media. Data Recovery Services has recovered tapes that have become corrupt due to many situations.
Including:
Physical damage
Back up Failures
Water damaged tapes
Overwritten Tapes
Smoke or Chemical Damaged Tapes
Intentionally damaged tapes
Broken Tapes
DRS has developed its own tape data recovery software in its research and development lab to access more data off of tapes than ever before. Our in-house programmers are constantly upgrading and generating new recovery software to help better serve you. Our engineers are trained in recovery from many tape formats.
Including:
4mm DAT, DDS, DDS2, DDS3, DDS4 and DDS5
Super DLT & DLT, DLT VS80 and VS160 tapes
Exabyte 8mm
SONY AIT 1, 2 and 3
Travan tapes
QIC mini cartridge tapes
9-track tape recovery and conversion
OnStream ADR 30 and 50 GB
LTO 1, 2, 3 and 4
VXA 1 and 2
Mammoth 1 and 2
SLR 1, 2, 3 ,4, 5
DRS will thoroughly examine your tape for any kind of damage, whether it is physical or logical, before any attempt is made to recover the data. Our first concern is to secure a copy of your data to the fullest extent possible; this can be achieved by performing a low-level read of your tape. We will then work from a secure copy of your data to identify the format and determine what process will be used to complete the recovery.
After determining what steps will be necessary to complete your tape data recovery, we will contact you. No work will be done without your approval. As soon as you approve the recovery, our engineers will continue with the recovery effort.
