LTO Tape Data Recovery

LTO tape cartridges boast exceptional durability, capable of reliably storing data for 15 to 30 years when properly stored and used for a single write/read cycle. However, their operating life can be significantly shortened by improper storage conditions, hardware malfunctions, or repeated reuse by businesses.

Furthermore, certain backup programs can negatively impact tape durability. While LTO inherently verifies data during the writing process, some applications perform an additional, independent verification. This extra wear effectively halves the cartridge's operating life.

Secure Data Recovery Services offers dependable LTO tape data recovery. We operate secure data recovery facilities that support all LTO Ultrium tape formats from LTO 1 to LTO 9.

DAT Tape Data Recovery

DAT tapes are relatively small and resistant to physical damage compared to other tape formats. However, airborne particles can damage exposed tape, leading to read/write issues, longer data recovery times, or permanent data loss.

f you encounter issues reading data from a DAT tape, avoid attempting to move the tape to another cartridge, re-spool it, or repair the tape or tape drive components unless you have a complete backup of your data. For optimal results, contact a professional data recovery company promptly to prevent oxide issues from complicating the recovery process.

We understand the critical importance of careful handling for DAT and DDS tapes, especially when physical damage hinders data access. Our commitment to data recovery is reflected in our state-of-the-art laboratory, which enables us to achieve an impressive 96% success rate. To safeguard the integrity of your original DAT media, all essential repairs are meticulously performed within a certified Class 10 ISO 4 Cleanroom.
