Causes of Tape Failure and Data Loss

• Corruption – operational error, mishandling of the tape or accidental overwrites caused by inserting or partially formatting the wrong tape
• Physical damage – broken tapes, dirty drives, expired tapes and damage caused by fire, flood or other natural disaster
• Software upgrades – inability for data on tape to be read by new application or servers
