tape backup

Tape backup is a data storage method that uses magnetic tape to save copies of computer files and systems. It's similar to recording information on a cassette, but for digital data. Organizations use tape backups to securely store important data over the long term, as tapes are reliable, portable, and cost-effective for large amounts of information. In case of data loss due to hardware failure, accidents, or cyberattacks, tape backups allow businesses to restore their systems and information efficiently. While less common today due to newer technologies, tape backups still play a crucial role in data protection strategies.
