Backup Tapes
Index, Search and Extract Data from Offline Tape without Restore

Historical enterprise data is often  locked away in proprietary backup formats on offline tapes with no easy access for demanding discovery needs. As a results retrieving data from these tapes is extremely time consuming and costly. Although tape discovery is known to be difficult, recent case law now demands that this data be made accessible. Index Engines unlocks the data contained on backup tapes, making individual files and email easily accessible by eliminating painful restore.

Index Engines automates the process of searching and extracting data from offline tapes. With Index Engines platform offline tapes are directly indexed without restoring or copying data from tape, 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 for processing. The Index Engines platform is focused on providing comprehensive and efficient indexing of data across the enterprise. Regardless of format or location, our technology provides a unified index for access into your data assets, at unmatched speeds, scale and value. Contact us to learn more.
