Best app for tape retrieval??

[Guest Paul]

Hi - I have a load of old backup tapes that I need to get the data

from as quick and easily as possible. What's the best software for

this? Just plain and simple data retrieval?? I have a good budget I

can use if needed.

 

Also I think one or two tapes might be corrupt too, so if it could

handle then that would be great!

 

Thanks

Depends very much on the tapes, the drive and the data format. There

is no general solution.

Typically you cannot handle that in software.

 

Easiest solution is to give the task to some data recovery outfit.

Many also do copying of non-corrupt older media to new media for

a fee.
