DATASHEET

LTO Tape Media

What could be more important
than protecting your data?

Tandberg Data LTO tape drive, automation and
media products are designed for small and medium­sized businesses, to deliver the best combination
of performance, durability, reliability and value
for the money. Tandberg Data LTO tape drives are
optimised for use with Tandberg Data LTO media
to deliver exceptional performance and reliability.

The most important factor about performing backups is that you can
restore data at a later date. The success of any restore operation is
dependent upon many factors but mainly the quality of the media and
the media handling procedures in use. Tandberg Data LTO media is
subject to stringent quality controls to ensure maximum performance,
reliability and compatibility with other vendor LTO tape drives.

Tandberg Data offers a selection of media products and services to
simplify data protection and compliance requirements, including
custom and non-custom barcode labeling services and library media
packs for easy handling and safe transportation of data off site.

Tandberg Data custom barcode-labeled data cartridges allow
customers to specify the exact barcode sequence and colour printed
on each label. Custom barcode-labeled orders are built to order with
a lead time of 1 week. Tandberg Data non-custom barcode labeled
data cartridges contain a random sequence allowing labeled data
cartridges to be shipped very quickly because no customisation is
required.

Media Care and Handling

To achieve maximum tape media life, users must ensure that media
is operated and stored as per the environmental specification. Tape
media should be kept away from strong magnetic fields to avoid
the risk of data loss. Operating a tape drive within a dirty or dusty
environment may affect reliability and could reduce the tape drive
and media life. The life of each tape media depends on the way it is
utilized and stored, as such we recommend that customers replace
daily backup tapes every 12 months.
