Tape Data Recovery Services
At Disklab, we specialize in restoring critical data from tape backups—whether your tapes are physically damaged, logically corrupted, or unreadable due to format issues. >>>
Why Tape Data Fails
-
Physical issues like tape wear and tear, creases or folds, binder hydrolysis (“sticky-shed syndrome”), or demagnetization can make tapes unreadable.
-
Logical problems, including unknown formats, re-initialized or erased tapes, and backup software errors, often block access to your data.
Trust our experts to handle both physical and logical tape failures with precision.
