Why Tape Migration?
Tape migration involves converting and consolidating your archives onto one unified platform. Here are some common scenarios that indicate it’s time for a migration:
- Upgrading your backup infrastructure.
- Involved in a merger or acquisition.
- Needing regular access to old tapes.
- Lacking internal resources for data retrieval.
- Experiencing physical damage or data corruption on tapes.
