In the age of digital technology, data is everything. Every business, organization, or individual relies on data to make informed decisions, improve operations, and store important information. Data loss can be catastrophic, leading to financial loss, damage to reputation, and even legal issues. That is why backup solutions are crucial to protect against data loss. Tape…
Data recovery is the process of salvaging data from damaged, failed, corrupted, or inaccessible storage media when it cannot be accessed normally. This includes recovering data from hard drives, flash memory, servers, and more. Tape data recovery is no exception and may be necessary when a tape is damaged due to physical damage, accidental overwrites,…
Every year, the amount of data that humanity generates is growing exponentially. The number of companies using tape-based solutions will grow along with the data. Companies that need to archive large amounts of data use tapes to perform regular backups. Tapes are usually employed when there is a need to store rarely used but critical…
Many companies use tape archives for long-term backups of the most critical data. It is easy to understand why people use them: a reasonably cheap, simple, and reliable method of data storage. If it is safely used for many years – the life span of the cartridge is 2-3 decades. In addition, the streaming backup…
