Got a Failed Tape Drive?

Tape Drives use Tapes to record data in magnetically format; the tapes are widely used by businesses to back up critical data which is vital to different business functions. Disk Doctor Labs have decades of experience in thousands of successful recoveries. Tape recoveries are special because of the nature and criticality of the storage.

Disk Doctors perform an initial diagnosis on the tape to determine if there are any damaged cartridge components and the extent of physical damage caused.

Special and customized tools are used to create a raw image from the tape. Recoveries from physical cases involve respooling, splicing and cleaning healthy segments of tape into new carriers with the help of specialized tools and techniques. Logical recovery utilizes the image by examining data sectors and later fixes to tape format structures are decided to make important data accessible.
