FATS/FATAR Benefits
  • Efficient method of determining the readability of data on existing tapes.
  • Erasure of tapes when they are discarded insures that your confidential information cannot be read.
  • Mapping tapes to determine label type, file count, DCB characteristics.
  • Copying tape to 3480 or to 3490E.
  • Recovery data from tapes that encounter data checks.
FATS User Experiences
  • FATS/FATAR allowed us to quickly evaluate and correct tape related problems.
  • The alternatives—loss of data, failed attempts to recreate data and possibly sending tapes offsite to specialist recovery services—are not acceptable.
  • We used FATS data security erase feature to erase data from tapes prior to disposal and since we exchange tapes with many other companies, we erase the entire tape to ensure all previous data is destroyed.
