Because of their high data storage capacity, they\u2019re typically used in businesses as data backup devices. Though restoring data from tapes to hard drives is simple, it might fail if there is any physical damage or logical corruption caused to the tape media.<\/p>\n<table style=\"border: 2px dashed #f32a32;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<th style=\"background-color: #ffffe4; text-align: justify;\"><strong><em>Also Read: <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.stellarinfo.co.in\/case-study\/data-recovery-from-broken-lto-6-tape-drive.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Stellar pulls off 100% data recovery from broken LTO-6 tape<\/a><\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.stellarinfo.co.in\/case-study\/data-recovery-from-dat-72-tape-drive.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Stellar facilitates data recovery from 14-year old DAT 72 tapes affected by moisture<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stellarinfo.co.in\/v2\/images\/case-study\/case9.jpg\" alt=\"DAT 72 Tape\" width=\"407\" height=\"156\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">For instance, if the tape\u2019s magnetic coating, the layer that holds data, or supporting layers are damaged, you\u2019d not be able to transfer the tape data.
