How tape restoration works

We use a project based approach tailored to your exact requirements. A usual tape restoration project can include:

  • Recovery of inaccessible data
  • Replication and de-duplication
  • Catalogue and indexing reports for future data mapping
  • Development of custom software and tools
  • Conversion of your legacy media in a secure, efficient and cost effective manner
  • Accurate bit for bit copy of the source data, supplied back to you in the required format

All of these steps are flexible and can be adjusted to suit your needs, particularly when the delivery deadlines for data restores are very tight.

Any tape format

From reel-to-reel to the latest LTO tapes, we can cater for any type of magnetic storage, no matter how new or old the technology is.

Even if your media is damaged, our engineers can help using proprietary tape recovery techniques. Here are just some of the tape formats we support, in any generation. Can’t see yours? Don’t worry, we can still help you.
