Tape Imaging Software,
When you have backed up every single night for the last five years, then you find that the only time you require to restore the backup, you discover the tape wont load because of a tape error.
So what can you do. There are several software options for backup data recovery, but most of these only work on backup files, so how do you recover data from a tape?
Data Recovery Engineering Software Limited write software mainly for data recovery companies, and one of their titles is a very cost effective tape dumping tool.
The software reads the tape and creates a file dump to hard disk. Now you are able access the data on the tape and recover it with your backup recovery software.
Another use for the software is when someone has created a backup set that you need to access, but it is password protected (not encrypted) and the user cant remember the password or left the company. Or a forensics engineer needs to examine the data stored on the tape but does not have access to the software used to make the tape.
