Disaster recovery

The worst possible thing to happen to your data is water, fire and theft. With little or no chance of ever seeing your hours of work again. Use of a safe or off-site storage with this product is recommended.

Redundant Server

Working in a team or workgroup means saving and retrieving all your data on a server. It is common for a hard disk to stop working in demanding conditions as the oil lubricating the ball bearing in the drive dries up, resulting in the drive ceasing. So why just use one hard disk?

Archive Retreival

By far the cheapest and most flexible form of backup, this type of backup is suitable for users needing to transport or retrieve data on a regular basis. It is recommended for permanent archival that secondary backups are made and kept in a safe or in
off- site storage. Media used for this type of backup varies.

VXAtape™ utilizes Advanced Metal Evaporated (AME) technology, which was developed specifically to deliver the durability, archival and capacity properties required for high performance tape drives.

The media is made by passing the substrate through a vacuum chamber where 100% cobalt material is deposited directly onto it. This has two significant advantages over conventional Metal Particle media: It offers an optimized recording surface, and there is no use of chemical binders which tend to break down, introducing debris and contaminants into the head/tape interface.

An extremely hard, protective Diamond Like Coating (DLC) is applied over the magnetic layer to make the media even more durable. It resists oxidation and moisture, and does not leave residue on heads or tape path components.

Increased durability and reduced tape wear mean your data will be there, readable from any VXA-1 drive. And as your storage capacity needs grow, VXA has a solution - VXAtape is available in 24 and 66 GB capacities. With an archival life of more than 30 years, the ability to withstand up to 20,000 passes and a limited lifetime warranty, VXAtape is truly an outstanding choice in data storage media.
