BACKUP TAPE DATA RECOVERY, RESTORATION AND MIGRATION.

Backup Tape is a digital data storage device for archiving various digital files. It can store documents, photos, videos, database, email, text or combination on magnetic tape. To read backup tape you need tape drive. There are numerous types of tapes. Right now, most widely used are LTO BACKUP TAPE. LTO tape is cheap and reliable archiving device in comparison to alternatives. Current LTO-8 cartridge allows storage capacity up to 12TB native or uncompressed space or 30TB compressed with read/write speeds of 360MB/900MB respectively. LTO-8 is fast enough to compete with hard drive. Close to modern HDD read and write speed. LTO allows encryption.

DLT backup tape is past. There are no new devices. Best DLT tapes store up to 400/800GB capacity. Backup tapes differentiate by how data is stored, written or read out. Factor such is BPI (bits per inch) and tape width matters. Each tape needs its own drive to read and write cartridge. Tape Data moves to and from computer via SAS or SCSI or FC. Another part you will need is host bus adapter (HBA). Count all factors in and professional backup tape data recovery needs tens, if not hundreds of various drives, tapes, adapters, cables.

Any hardware needs software to work properly. Many programs are universal and work with variety of hardware. Not all. Old backup tapes require proprietary software and driver to work properly. Specifically tapes used in DOS, Unix, Novell, prior to MS WINDOWS introduction. Data recovery from old tapes is very tedious and time consuming. Software for DOS or Novell Operating Systems is extinct. Example old tapes like TRAVAN 10/20/40MB, COLORADO MEMORY SYSTEMS 80/120/250MB, ARCHIVE CORPORATION 20/40/80/120MB, Mammoth tapes.
