When records outgrow their tapes
Many agencies hold records on tape formats they can no longer read, under retention rules that still apply. Drives wear out and expertise disappears. We read legacy tapes, verify the contents and move them to modern storage or cloud with a full audit trail.
Recovery for agencies, schools, courts, utilities and public safety — with chain of custody, audit-ready documentation and procurement-friendly terms.
Do this first: stop using the device, don't run repair or recovery software, and don't open it. Then start a free evaluation or chat with us.
