Theft, fire, virus, operating errors, software malfunction, hardware failure and other natural catastrophes can affect the data integrity or even completely erase it. Therefore, it is essential that you should have a backup of your organizational data. LTO (linear tape open) format provides high levels of data protection, read/write performance, cost effectiveness and reliability. This open tape standard continues to flourish and helps to secure your technology investment through its highly scalable roadmap and multi-vendor interoperability.
