Backup tape data recovery
and format conversion
Serman is still one of the few laboratories in Europe with the technology to recover data from every type of backup and storage tapes. We have readers for every type of tape, and robotics for sequential access to overcome the most complicated failures.

We will design a personalized proyect for you
Data recovery from backup tapes, just like format conversion, is a highly specialized activity and is determined by both the device and the recording format. A specific system environment has to be assembled for each case. We will ask you to provide all the information regarding the number of tapes and the recording format.

By definition, data extraction from backup tapes requires setting up a specific hardware and software scenario for every customer.
The setup of this working environment is necessary from the first inspection of the devices. Every backup tape data extraction service will include a starting minimum price for the project’s preparation, notwithstanding the number of backup tapes.

By default, the backup tape data extraction service is oriented to obtain as much information as possible from as many tapes as possible, provided by the customer. Sometimes the customer does not know the exact content of every tape and they might only need the data from one of them. However, retrieving that content requires almost the same amount of work as the extraction of all the data.
Optionally, before extracting all the data from the tapes, the customer can request a List of files so they can choose which tape or tapes they want its data extracted and copied from. This step is always optional and will be added to the extraction stage.

After setting up the scenario, analyzing the devices and the relations between them, analyzing the backup software used and once the access problems have been overcome, we will proceed to copy the information from the tapes to a new device, usually a hard drive.
In some special damage cases, like overwriting of sessions, physical damage of the storage device, proprietary or non-standard backup systems, water damage, fire damage, etc., Serman will offer a quote based on a customized project.
Special quotes will also be offered if the customer wants to recover data from a high number of backup tapes.
