Stellar Data Recovery for Tape

Although on the "obsolete side of things", tape data storage is still present and used for various applications in numerous fields, such as transporting considerable amounts of data to and from the CERN’s particle collider’s facilities. However, just as with other means of storage, the occurrence of data loss and deterioration is quite likely, and in such instances, users will require specialized means of regaining access to their data.

Stellar Data Recovery for Tape, just as its name aptly suggests, will offer users a dedicated tool for previewing and recovering damaged tape data, from a wide range of tape storage formats. Speaking of formats, the app also supports numerous file types, ranging from documents, images, videos, as well as audio formats.

Before recovering the identified data, users will be able to preview it with the included viewer module, which comes equipped with a tree-structure selector, for toggling the file hierarchy.

During the actual restoring process, users can manually select the preferred data block size, for both read and write operations, hence different states of the tape medium can dictate different approaches. Last but not least, there’s also a separated, “auto” block size feature, which can be used as a pre-defined, default option for the recovery process.
