UNIX AND VAX VMS TAPES

     We support two Suse Linux systems for reading and writing UNIX system and backup tapes in a variety of formats including 'cpio' and 'tar'. By using the LINUX systems for file restores, the symbolic links can be preserved and the data can be rewritten to newer media, like AIT, DLT, or Mammoth Tapes. If you are porting your data to the Windows platform, we can write CD's or DVD's. If you require magnetic tape, we can write  ARCSERVE, BACKUP EXEC and  NTBACKUP formatted tapes.  Over the past few years we have read over 5,000, 8mm UNIX tapes and have knowledge to read yours.

  We can read and restore your old VAX VMS nine track, TK50, TK70, TK85, TK86, TZ87, and other data tapes (see supported media) in various VMS formats like 'VMSBACKUP' and 'VAX Exchange''. Having restored your files we can sort the files and write the data to CD's or DVD's.  If you require magnetic tape, we can write PC Windows formats including, ARCSERVE, BACKUP EXEC,  NTBACKUP and UNIX formats like 'cpio' and 'tar'. 

Not only can we restore your 'old' tapes, but we can work with your data processing professionals to tailor a conversion package to meet you requirements and deadlines. Because we are PC based it is very easy for us to reconfigure our systems to meet your needs.
