Index Engines Tape Engine automates the process of searching and extracting data from offline tapes without the original backup software. Using the Tape Engine, backup data is directly indexed and the data is immediately searchable.  Users can quickly find what they need, restoring only relevant files and email, rather than restoring the entire tape contents, indexing the data, and then commencing the search process.  No other solution can directly index backup data allowing for full text and metadata search. The Tape Engine directly indexes offline tapes, as well and disk-based backup and VTLs (virtual tape libraries). The unmatched capabilities of this technology limit the time and cost associated with backup data discovery efforts that have historically needed to restore large amounts of unwanted data to access case specific information.  Index Engines is now taking orders for the Tape Engine, delivery scheduled within two weeks. Price and availability are dependant on configuration.
