WHAT TO DO FOR DATA TAPE RECOVERY

Nothing is forever. This particular lesson is reaffirmed in big and small ways; when a much beloved goldfish is given a watery burial down the toilet, when a fire destroys a home, and/or when vital data is lost through machine mishap or human error. Funny enough, it is also human assistance you must rely on when you need something fixed.

Data tape recovery is a slow, tedious, pain-staking process that can take weeks or longer. You are definitely in a sling even if you happened to back up your work and programs.
