tape data recoveryTape data recovery is a complicated process that generally requires the intervention of some kind of data recovery professional. A computer tape is not too different from a music tape in that is basically just a magnetically coated strip of plastic onto which a great amount of data can be encoded and stored. The only real benefit of using a tape to store data as opposed to some of the more modern methods of data storage is that it is a great deal cheaper than storing data on a disk and tapes also have a much greater storage capacity than disks, sometimes ranging up to as high as several gigabytes of data space.The benefit of storing data on disk as opposed to tape is the fact that you can access your data much more quickly and efficiently on disk than you can on tape. Tapes are denominated as sequential-access media, meaning that in order to access any one point of data on the tape, you must first go through all the points of data that precede it. Just think of the differences of skipping to track 10 on an audio CD as opposed to fast forwarding to track 10 on an audiotape. Since disks are denominated as random-access media, you can jump directly to the point of data you wish to access. As a result of this issue, tapes are seldom used for anything other than long-term storage and/or data backup, making it incredibly important that there be services through which lost data can be recovered from faltering or damaged tapes. Professional tape data recovery specialists boast an ability to recover data from tapes with the following damages:
