Long-lasting
Today, the amount of audiovisual data is rapidly increasing, and keeping this high-volume of media files on computers for a long time seems to be unreliable and quite expensive as well. An appropriate media device to preserve digital files for a long time should be less expensive, have high longevity and appropriate capacity and not occupy a large space. One of the most long-lasting, safe and economical devices for this purpose is digital magnetic tape.
Digital preservation
Although digital magnetic tapes are sequential-access devices and are not as fast as magnetic disks, they have been used as archive media for a long-time and safe preserving of unlimited digital data. Accordingly, Backup system is produced for institutions and organizations that, in particular, deal with audiovisual data.
