Common Causes of Tape Failure and Data Loss
Although tape storage devices are known for their reliability and durability, they can still fail. Factors like physical damage, mechanical failure, human error, and software/hardware malfunctions can all contribute to tape failure and data loss.
Physical Damage
Tapes can suffer damage from mishandling or accidents, such as dropping them or exposing them to extreme temperatures or magnetic fields. This physical damage can render data unreadable, resulting in potential data loss.
Mechanical Failure
Mechanical failures in tape drives or components can hinder proper reading or writing, leading to data loss. Common causes include ageing equipment and wear and tear in tape storage devices.
Human Error
Accidental deletion or overwriting of data often happens due to human error, resulting in data loss. Having proper backup and disaster recovery plans is essential to prevent these incidents.
Software/Hardware Malfunctions
Problems with software or hardware in tape storage, like outdated drivers or firmware, can cause data to become inaccessible or corrupted, leading to potential data loss. Regular maintenance and updates are key to preventing these issues.
Data Recovery Process
Our data recovery process is safe and straightforward. Throughout the entire procedure, we prioritise keeping our customers informed and updated. We aim to ensure clarity and understanding at every step of the recovery process, providing our clients with security and confidence in our services.
We offer multiple options for sending your device to our recovery centres for fast and efficient service.
Simply pack your storage media securely with the provided shipping label and send it to our lab. If you’re unable to visit a post office, we can arrange collection. Alternatively, drop off the device at one of our local offices or designated points.
Once we receive your device, we notify you immediately and begin a technical inspection to assess the data loss and its complexity.
We provide various risk-free assessment options, ensuring your media is handled with the utmost care at PITS Global Data Recovery Services.
After completing the evaluation, we contact the customer with details about the device’s failure, recovery chances, and service options.
The customer can then choose to proceed or cancel the recovery. If cancelled, we ensure the safe return of the device.
After recovery, we schedule a remote session for the client to verify the recovered files. Upon successful verification, the data can be delivered via a secure cloud link or on a new external hard drive.
Once the client confirms receipt, we immediately delete all stored data from our servers, ensuring maximum security and privacy.
