Digital Linear Tape

Digital Linear Tape (DLT) is a type of magnetic storage medium used for backing up and archiving large amounts of data. It stores information on long, thin tapes similar to traditional audio tapes but with advanced technology to quickly read and write data. DLT is favored for its high capacity, reliability, and cost-effectiveness for large-scale data storage tasks. It is commonly used in data centers and enterprises to securely archive data over extended periods, ensuring information can be retrieved efficiently when needed.
