Computer Tape Conversion

Have you got a tape that you can't read?

We guarantee to convert any tape

We work with the UK’s biggest blue-chip companies.

We’ve served more than 6000 customers since 1988!

Is your problem described below?

weird-looking tape

• Have you got an unusual-looking tape reel or cartridge that you need to read?

tape looks normal but isn't

• Have you got a tape which is the same shape and size as the type that your drive reads, but seems to be in a different format? (from a different computer, operating system, tape drive, backup software)?

they need your data on their tape

• Has someone asked you to put some data onto a type of tape that they can read but you can’t?

you no longer have the tape drive

• Have you got a tape which came from a tape drive that you have long since got rid of?

from tape onto something else

• Have you got some data on a tape that you need to put onto CD, or DVD a hard disk or onto the web?

tape library

• Have you got a whole tape library where you want to get the data off onto higher capacity tapes, or hard disks, or CDs or DVDs or onto a web server?

tape damaged or corrupted

• Have you got a tape that you can't read because it is damaged or corrupted?

tape is partially unreadable

• Have you got a tape where you can only get part of the data back off it?

you need tape replicated

• Have you got a tape where you need to make multiple copies or put it onto multiple DVDs?

you no longer have the backup software

• Have you got a tape where you've lost the backup software, so you can't read it on its tape drive?

If you have any of these problems, we can help

So that we can deal with converting different computer tapes, we also need to deal with the different computers, operating systems, backup software and file formats involved

Once we have got the files off the tape you send us, we can do one of two things:

• we can put the files from your tape straight onto the type of tape or disk you want 'as is' without changing the data format of your files

• additionally we can also convert the files from your tape to any other file format, before we put them onto the type of tape or disk that you can read

Why are we so effective at solving these kinds of problems?

Firstly, we set out in 1988 to tackle all the computing and technology jobs that nobody else wanted.

We soon discovered the following:
The more of them you do, the better you get!

Since our beginning we have found that the best way to solve the widest range of difficult technology problems was to build up the word’s most sophisticated database of thousands of (often obscure) problems and solutions and to develop a detailed understanding of how to ask the right questions, in order to identify the right solution to a seemingly insoluble technical problem.

We have developed long-standing relationships with enormous numbers of individuals who are each experts (often retired) in solving one particular kind of technological problem.

When you call us with a problem, our long memories, detailed records and expert systems help us to ask you the right questions in order to 'get a handle on your problem'.

People tell us that we seem to know 'more than is humanly possible' about the most obscure problems, but we don't hide the fact that our knowledge is constantly augmented by our network of enthusiastic collaborators.

In fact, once we have solved your problem with some unusual or old technology, we might actually have the audacity to ask you to help us if someone else comes up with a similar problem in future (which perhaps gives an insight into how we appear to be so knowledgeable!) and offer to pay for your help!

We work on the principle that:

'the more problems we solve, the more problems we CAN solve'

Call us now on 01582 696911 and we'll be delighted to hear about it and tell you how we can help
