Magnetic Tape Data Recovery

E-Tech Recovery Services can read any tape format, on almost any media - and convert it to a compatible data format for the target system.
We  recover  data from old, damaged, defective tapes and cartridges After identification of the cause of problem(s), the tapes and cartridges are processed to remove any contamination and to physically and chemically stabilize the magnetic coating and to repair any other damage. The defective tapes or cartridges are then copied byte-by-byte to a hard disk for processing and transfer to a new tape or cartridge.
Why Tape Backups lose data...

• Heat and Smoke Damage
• Water Damage - Sprinkler System or Flooded
• Damage Resulting from Dropping the Cartridge
