Tape Data Recovery

Tape storage systems remain a critical archival medium for many businesses, government agencies, and educational institutions, but they're prone to unique failure issues that require specialized expertise. Our Denver-based tape recovery specialists have decades of experience with all modern and legacy tape formats including LTO (1-9), DLT, SDLT, AIT, DAT, DDS, QIC, Travan, SLR, 8mm, 4mm, and proprietary mainframe tape systems. We've recovered critical data from physically damaged tapes, stretched media, broken shells, mold contamination, and oxide shedding issues that standard tape drives cannot read.

In addition to physical tape issues, we specialize in recovering from logical errors including catalog corruption, format incompatibilities, encryption problems, and backup software failures from systems using Veeam, Veritas, Commvault, Backup Exec, NetBackup, Amanda, Bacula, and proprietary formats. Our tape recovery lab includes a comprehensive collection of legacy and modern tape drives, allowing us to read virtually any tape format ever produced. For businesses with compliance requirements, we maintain strict chain-of-custody protocols and provide detailed recovery documentation for legal and regulatory purposes.
