Recovery Services for All Tape Formats
A tape cartridge, also called a data cartridge, is a storage system that holds a spool of magnetic tape. The magnetic tape stores different kinds of data, from corporate business data to audio and video files. The cartridges of tapes are designed to fit into a computer system or audio/video recorder system.
Tape media cartridges are widely used in a corporate environment and play an essential role in many businesses’ backup systems. These devices come in different tape formats, including LTO, DLT, and S-AIT. These formats have advanced storage capabilities. Modern tape cartridges can hold even 15 terabytes of data.

Certified Cleanroom Facilities for Tape Recovery
As with any data storage system, if the damage is physical, we recover it in our advanced laboratory. Our laboratory consists of a certified cleanroom, advanced and secure data recovery tools, and a particular uniform worn by our experts during the repair process.
Utilizing a certified cleanroom is crucial for successful data repair. Such an environment creates a space free of particles and pollutants, while an unprotected environment is dangerous for an open, vulnerable tape cartridge.
These reliable methods allow us to safely restore full access to critical files within a few days. For logical damage, we have developed special data recovery software.
You can rest assured that we will recover as much data from your failed tape as possible. In addition, unlike other data recovery methods, ours is safe. We strictly follow all internationally required data security & privacy protocols and store recovered media on secure servers. After the case is closed and the client receives recovered data, our team representatives wipe all files stored in our server systems.
What to Do If Your Tape Cartridge Fails
Experiencing a failure with a tape cartridge can be a distressing occurrence, particularly if the cartridge holds crucial data. Whether you’re dealing with modern tape cartridges like DAT, DDS, DLT/SDLT, LTO, AIT, or legacy media, the steps that are taken when a tape cartridge fails are vital in determining whether data recovery is possible.
Organizations have long relied on tape cartridges for data storage due to their ability to endure and retain data over an extended period. However, tape cartridges are not immune to issues such as physical damage, read/write errors, or degradation over time. It is crucial to act promptly and with caution when a tape cartridge fails to protect the data.
In such situations, it is often recommended to seek assistance from a professional data recovery service, like PITS Global Data Recovery. Our experts have the knowledge, experience, and specialized tools required to diagnose and resolve tape cartridge failures effectively.
Facing a data tape failure, follow these required steps to prevent further media damage: immediately turn off your tape drive and contact a data recovery specialist.
Note: Do not try to read data from the tape cartridge if you notice that the data tape drive is failing. Turning off your tape drive will minimize the risk of accidental media damage. After turning the device off, do not try to touch data tape or repair tape cartridges on your own.
