Data Recovery from Tape . Recovering data from tapes involves first getting an binary image of the tape. We do this using our own software so as to get the best image possible. Once we have the tape image, we then work out the software that was used to create the backup tape. Again we have written our own backup recovery software so that we can get the maximum amount of data from the tape. We are able to recover data from all types of tape including: AIT,  DAT, DDS, DLT, LTO, QIC, SAIT, SDLT, Travan, Ultrium and most other tape formats. We are also able to recover from most backup software on all platforms. For more information please check out out our Tape Recovery pages.
