The rapid evolution of storage systems, the obsolescence of the company’s reading tools and, in some cases, the absence of the technicians who carried out the backups mean that many companies find themselves unable to access data that has been archived on magnetic tape, in some cases for several decades. As certain data must be kept indefinitely, it is important to anticipate and study solutions that can enable these data to be stored in good conditions for future years, in the event of an internal or external need. <\/p>\n
