Common Causes of Tape Failure and Data Loss
While tape storage devices are reliable and durable, they are still susceptible to failures. Various factors, including physical damage, mechanical failure, human error, and software/hardware malfunctions, can lead to tape failure and data loss.
Physical Damage
Tapes can get damaged from mishandling or mishaps, like dropping them or exposing them to extreme temperatures or magnetic fields. Physical damage can cause data to become unreadable, leading to potential data loss.
Mechanical failure
Mechanical failures in tape drives or other components can prevent tapes from being read or written properly, resulting in data loss. Ageing equipment and wear and tear are common causes of mechanical failures in tape storage devices.
Human error
Accidental deletion or overwriting of data can occur due to human error, leading to data loss. Proper backup and disaster recovery plans are crucial to prevent such incidents.
Software/hardware malfunctions
Issues with software or hardware used for tape storage, such as outdated drivers or firmware, can make data inaccessible or corrupt, resulting in potential data loss. Regular maintenance and updates can help prevent such malfunctions.
