Tape Processing
Kroll Ontrack’s Tape Processing service provides expertise and capacity to extract and process target data from one tape to potentially many thousands from an organisation’s archive. Back up tapes contain information which was present on a computer system, at a point in time. This is information that is possibly no longer available in ‘active’ storage.
Why process tapes?
You might be looking for ‘smoking gun’ evidence contained in deleted or forgotten emails, or seeking to prove documents did, or did not, exist at a certain time. Alternatively you may be simply looking to ascertain what legally sensitive information is archived on back up tapes before disposing of them securely.
When conducting any form of computer investigation, whether used for back up or archiving, tapes can provide an important snapshot in time, often overlooked by the suspect. As such, back up tapes can provide a valuable additional source of legally sensitive data that could be crucial to your investigation.
Choose the experts
Kroll Ontrack can process legacy tape media on equipment no longer available in the marketplace and has access to one of the most extensive and comprehensive collection of tape drives in Europe. Using our in-house developed software Kroll Ontrack can process and extract files from nearly every combination of tape and software without reverting to the original operating environment.
These unique capabilities give you an unparalleled confidence that key electronic evidence can be securely extracted. Our strict “chain of custody” procedure and audit trail ensures the analysis will withstand legal scrutiny should the matter end up in a court of law.
