Tape Data Recovery is a broad subject and actually relates to more than just tapes suffering from damage or wear and tear. There are the perennial, publicity friendly, tales of apocalypse (fire and flood damage) that make great reading but are relevant to very few of us. The majority of Tape Data Recovery work is required as the result of drive failure, media failure or human failure and these tend to happen during the normal course of events - and without a horseman in sight.
