Tape Data Recovery

Back to the Tape Data Recovery page
We specialize in data recovery, specifically from tapes and hard drives.
Our company has been involved in developing formulation for the coating of tape since 1974. This has involved iron oxide, gamma ferric oxide, chrome dioxide, and metal particle. We have routinely tested these formulations for stability and long life, testing such things as coercivity, durability, stability in extremes of temperatures and humidity, malleability, flexibility, ductility, and effects of aging to mention a few.
The result is a knowledge and expertise database that can be valuable in understanding what is preventing the retrieval of data down to the point of bit errors, as a result we have developed routines designed to restore the condition of these tapes to be able to make a successful copy.
We also have in-house software development capability that allows us to play with the boundaries of controllers and the tape drive microcodes enabling such things as tension modification, error skipping, ignoring errors across a huge range of tape drives. This results in an ability to get to that piece of data that is so critical to the client.
Our service and support covers two continents and four locations. Our engineers have extensive knowledge spanning 25 years on all media types. Here is a summary of some of our success stories.
