One of the most common inquiries I get regarding data recovery:
How easy is it to recover the files off of a MO Disk ?
Its sort of a tricky question to answer but here is a summary.
Whenever attempting to recall archived data there is a three pronged tactic.
- Replicate the software environment – make sure you have software capable of reading the files
- Replicate the hardware environment – make sure that you have hardware capable of reading the disks (in this case the proper size MO Drive)
- Replicate the OS – some files written in DOS or Unix for example may not be viewable in other operating systems.
You may only need to meet only one of the above criteria or you may need to meet all three.
If you have more questions regarding retrieving archived data on MO Disks feel free to contact me.
