What is tape data recovery?
A tape data drive is a storage device that is used for offline, archival data storage. The longevity of tapes are the main reasons why backups are still widely used by large enterprises. If they are properly maintained, they can store required data for 30+ years. Due to their high archival stability, tape backups are used for long-term retention for critical data. Tape data recovery is the process of retrieving and copying data from tape cartridges that have experienced damage from water, dropping, or overwriting.
What are the common causes of data loss from tape failure?
While tape has longevity for data storage, a lot can happen to make the data on them inaccessible. We have seen it all. This includes:
Corruption
Expired tapes, operational errors, mishandling, or overwrites can corrupt your data.
Malware
Tapes may be erased or damaged by ransomware or malware infections.
Software Issues
Problems occur when the backup software becomes incompatible with newer systems or applications.
Physical Damage
Tapes that are dropped, burnt, or exposed to chemicals or smoke may suffer from severe damage.
