It’s easy to overlook the value of older technologies such as QIC (Quarter Inch Cartridge) tapes. However, these tapes were once widely used for backup and long-term storage purposes, making them a potential source of valuable data for businesses and individuals. We specialize in recovering data from QIC tapes and providing our clients with a comprehensive solution to their tape-related issues.
Over time, QIC tapes are susceptible to various types of failures that can result in data loss. Some of the most common reasons for tape failure include physical damage due to mishandling, exposure to extreme temperatures or magnetic fields, and wear and tear from use.
Additionally, as technology advances and newer storage methods become available, it becomes increasingly difficult to find compatible tape drives and software to read and access the data on these older tapes.
That’s why we offer QIC tape data recovery services to help businesses and individuals retrieve their valuable data from damaged or obsolete tapes.
If you are experiencing issues with your QIC tapes, here are some common signs of tape failure to look out for:
If you encounter any of these signs, it’s essential to seek professional QIC tape data recovery services as soon as possible. The longer you wait, the more challenging it may become to retrieve your data.

Our file verification process via remote session is integral to customer satisfaction. Unlike other companies, we are the only ones offering this unique service. Following successful data recovery, we initiate a remote session that allows our customers to peruse and check their files on their own.
The time frame for data recovery depends on the condition of your tapes and the amount of data that needs to be extracted and reconstructed. Our team will provide you with an estimated timeline after evaluating your tapes.
The success of data recovery efforts often depends more on the tape’s condition and the environment it was stored in than on its age or format. However, technological advancements can sometimes make data retrieval from newer formats like the QIC 3095 or QIC-EX more straightforward due to improved data density and reliability. We deal with all formats equally, applying our expertise to achieve the best possible outcomes.
We work with all major QIC tape brands and models, including but not limited to 3M’s QIC-80, HP’s Travan TR-5, Tandberg Data’s SLR5, and others like QIC-24, QIC-157, and QIC-Wide. Regardless of the tape’s brand or model, we have the tools and experience to attempt a recovery.
If you suspect your QIC tape is failing, the first step is to avoid any further use of the tape to prevent additional damage. Note any error messages or unusual behavior. Then, contact a professional data recovery service like ours as soon as possible. The quicker we can evaluate the tape, the better the chances of successful data recovery.
We have a high success rate in recovering data from damaged and even partially destroyed QIC tape catridges. However, the chances of successful recovery may vary based on the severity of the damage. Our team will evaluate your tapes and provide you with a realistic assessment of what data can be recovered.
