<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I have a need to pull archive data from several tapes that contain sensitive information. I'm pretty sure the tapes were created with TSM. The &quot;system&quot; we use archives Medical Images in their raw format and places them in an archive on tape. We have a tape carriage that handles all of this and the procedure is automated.<br />
<br />
However, I have a standalone tape reader attached to another server. I'd like to know if there is any open source TSM software that can read what's on the tape so I can pull the data to a different directory. AFter that I will import the data into a test system and go from there.<br />
<br />
Any ideas?<br />

Thanks!!

Pulling Archive Data From Tape

I have a need to pull archive data from several tapes that contain sensitive information. I&#39;m pretty sure the tapes were created with TSM. The &quot;system&quot; we use archives Medical Images in their raw format and places them in an archive on tape. We have a tape carriage that handles all of this and the procedure is automated.

However, I have a standalone tape reader attached to another server. I&#39;d like to know if there is any open source TSM software that can read what&#39;s on the tape so I can pull the data to a different directory. AFter that I will import the data into a test system and go from there.

The term "Backup" means the methods and processes involved to copy computer data (system data as well as application data) to media other than the ones where the data originally live (disk, tape, optical, cloud). "Restore" in turn means the methods and processes involved in data recovery, i. e., bringing back copied computer data to their original location. Backup/Restore primarily serves as a means of protection against data loss, be it due to disaster, corruption or sabotage. It can also be used for recovering data from an earlier point in time and even for cloning machines or applications. There is a wide variety of backup/restore software available, from expensive commercial products to free or open source tools.

Storage Software

Computer data storage, often called storage or memory, is a technology consisting of computer components and recording media used to retain digital data. In addition to local storage devices like CD and DVD readers, hard drives and flash drives, solid state drives can hold enormous amounts of data in a very small device. Cloud services and other new forms of remote storage also add to the capacity of devices and their ability to access more data without building additional data storage into a device.
