Tape Data Recovery for Public Sector

When your tape fails

Tape is durable but unforgiving. Snapped media, missing catalogs, retired backup software and drives that no longer exist can lock archived records away. We repair physical tape and read proprietary backup formats without the original software.

Recovery for agencies, schools, courts, utilities and public safety — with chain of custody, audit-ready documentation and procurement-friendly terms.

What we recover

• LTO-1 to LTO-9 cartridges
• Backup Exec, NetBackup, ARCserve, TSM and Commvault formats
• Tapes with lost or corrupted catalogs
• Snapped, creased or water-damaged media
• Overwritten or partially written tapes
• Mixed-generation archive sets

What you get for public-sector organizations

• Chain-of-custody documentation for every device
• Purchase orders and government purchase cards accepted
