Tape Recovery
Magnetic tapes are the safest and most reliable form of backup, countless companies adopt this technology because they need a safe and durable storage. The durability of LTO tapes, for example, exceeds 30 years. And because they are stored offline they are immune to cyber attacks.
There are several companies that develop magnetic tapes technologies, such as: Sony, HP, FujiFilm, IBM, among others. Each model developed brings variations to adapt to the needs of each user.
Companies that opt for tape storage demonstrate great value to their data, so data loss cannot be an option.
Even though tapes are extremely secure, lack of access to data can occur due to numerous factors, which are: Incompatible drive, backup software, power failure, overwriting data, incomplete backup set, data portability, corrupted data, among others.
In all these cases the stored files become unavailable, which hurts the guidelines of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which requires a high availability of sensitive customer data.

Answers from our experts
What is Tape Data Portability?
Portability is nothing more than the migration of data from an old tape to a tape with current technology. This service is done so that the data on the tapes are available, because reading tools for old tapes are rarer and have a high value.
In addition the newer magnetic tapes have a much higher storage capacity than the older ones, which decreases the need for physical space for tape storage.
What are the main causes of data loss on magnetic tapes?
The main causes are:
- Malicious users
- Incompatible drive
- Backup software
- Power failure
- Overwritten data
- Incomplete backup set
- Data portability
- Corrupted data
What care should be taken with magnetic tapes?
Some care should be taken to prolong the life of the tapes and protect the stored data, the care is:
- Be stored in places with good air low humidity and low temperature;
- Environment without dust and corrosive gases;
- Away from magnetic fields (motors, metal detectors, etc.);
- Do periodic inspections and maintenance.

Which is the best backup option, tapes or hard drives?
When it comes to cost effectiveness there is no doubt that tapes are the best choice for storing backups. Tapes were designed for this purpose and offer several years of durability, unlike hard drives.
Hard drives are composed of mechanical parts, which in turn are susceptible to failure and data loss. Not that magnetic tapes are immune to data loss, data loss can occur with tapes, but it is far rarer than with hard drives.
What are the main connections of magnetic tapes?
We can separate the connections into three, which are: Standalone, autoloaders and library.
- Standalone – A single simple drive.
- Autoloaders – Stores more than one cartridge and has an automatic loading mechanism with LTO drive.
- Library – Stores multiple cartridges and more than one drive in various sizes and capacities.
