All of our tape catalogue projects are tailored to your exact requirements, but a basic solution usually includes:
- Detailed data integrity and inconsistency reports

Tape cataloguing services
We can help you catalogue your tape data and provide different services to suit your business requirements.
Cataloguing your archive data
Ontrack's services include indexing, searching, and cataloguing data stored on backup and archive tapes outside of your production environment. A time consuming restoration of the tapes with the original backup software is not necessary; every file on every tape is read and catalogued, without having to back it up. You will receive precise lists showing exactly what data is on what tape(s).
Ontrack's indexing and cataloguing services are an efficient way to create a complete overview of your long term tape archives, while significantly improving the quality and cost structure of your data storage.
Content catalogue and copy for audits
Once completed, your catalogue can be downloaded as a text file via a secure FTP server. This means you will have a copy ready in case of an audit or when data must be restored for legal or compliance purposes.
Ontrack's indexing and cataloguing services include:
- Creation of an electronic catalogue of all stored data per volume
- Search for specific data in files, emails or other databases
- Full text or meta text indexing of unstructured data and emails (from Exchange, Lotus Notes or other platforms)
- Support for all popular tape and media formats such as LTO or DLT as well as all tape libraries
- Tape testing for age, expiration date, contamination and identification of inconsistencies
