Why Choose Our Data Tape Recovery Services?

Common Tape Data Loss Issues We Handle
Data loss can come from a variety of reasons, ranging from accidental mistakes to severe physical damage. Luckily, our expert team specialises in recovering lost data from all types of tape failures.
You may have mistakenly deleted or overwritten critical data during backup operations or accidentally dropped or scratched the tape. Tape drives can also wear out over time or become damaged when exposed to water, smoke or extreme heat. Equally, corrupt backup software, failed writes, or incomplete backups can make it difficult to retrieve data.
Our recovery specialists use advanced techniques to retrieve lost files, even when standard restoration methods fail. We can handle tape data recovery in our labs, which are equipped to handle water-damaged and environmentally compromised tapes. We also use tape recovery software on corrupted tape drives to extract data directly from the tape, restoring as much information as possible.
Our Data Recovery Process
Our data recovery process is secure, transparent, and designed to minimise downtime. Here's how it works:
Send us your device using the free postage label and our engineers will assess it for free. We'll let you know exactly what's recoverable before you commit.
We create a full, bit-by-bit clone of your storage media to preserve the original. Your data remains untouched while we work on the image copy.
Depending on the fault, we use cleanroom hardware repairs or forensic software tools to extract your data, even from damaged or encrypted media.
You'll receive a file list of everything we can recover. Once approved, we'll return your data on a secure USB drive or via encrypted cloud transfer.
LTO Tape Data Recovery Solutions
Losing access to critical data stored on LTO tapes can be stressful. However, our LTO tape data recovery in London can help you regain access to files within a matter of days, even if the laptop itself is no longer functional.
If your tape drive has suffered liquid damage (such as spills, floods, or moisture exposure), your backup tapes may hold the only copies of your important files. It's very important to act quickly to improve our chances of successfully recovering your data from the tape drive. We use specialist LTO tape recovery software and tools to help us access the data and save it elsewhere. Our LTO tape data recovery solutions are competitively priced and could help you recover data within 24 to 48 hours.
Along with our tape backup recovery services, we also offer laptop recovery, Mac recovery and hard drive recovery.
DAT Tape Data Recovery and Restoration
If your tape drive is damaged and you've lost access to critical data, your DAT backup tapes may be the key to recovering important files. We offer DAT tape recovery whether your laptop screen has broken, the laptop has been dropped, crushed, or has otherwise been physically damaged. We can also offer DAT tape recovery if your hard drive, motherboard, or the keyboard has failed.
As part of our assessment, we will inspect the DAT tape for physical or logical damage. If the tape is damaged, we carefully clean and restore it or use advanced recovery tools to retrieve lost or corrupted data.
Tape Data Recovery Software vs. Professional Services
While it can be tempting to try a DIY solution with tape data recovery software, you'll have better success rates with our professional services. Software may help with minor file corruption or accidental deletion, but it can't recover data from physically damaged tapes or faulty tape drives. Recovery software could also overwrite or degrade existing data and make it more difficult to recover. As part of our services, we also offer external drive recovery and hard drive recovery in London.
