Whilst LTO tape media technologies are increasingly robust, both in the production and backup / archive environment, problems can occur from time to time.
So, whether you need help with a specific tape event, or understand the need to take a proactive approach to tape performance management, Media Resources has the solution in the form of our LTO monitoring and diagnostics service.
Our LTO programme enables us to assess the overall health of your LTO cartridges and drives and identify the source of back-up problems.
At the end of our non-intrusive service we present you with a comprehensive status report that provides a clear picture of cartridge health plus details of any back-up problems that may have developed.
Our report includes details on:
- Suspended writes
- Number of tape cartridge mounts
- Uncorrectable error status
- R/W retries
- EOD information
- Capacity analysis
- Cartridge age
- End of life status
