Common Causes of Tape Failure and Data Loss
Although tape storage devices are known for their reliability and durability, they can still fail. Factors like physical damage, mechanical failure, human error, and software/hardware malfunctions can all contribute to tape failure and data loss.
Physical Damage
Tapes can suffer damage from mishandling or accidents, such as dropping them or exposing them to extreme temperatures or magnetic fields. This physical damage can render data unreadable, resulting in potential data loss.
Mechanical failure
Mechanical failures in tape drives or components can hinder proper reading or writing, leading to data loss. Common causes include ageing equipment and wear and tear in tape storage devices.Human error
Software/hardware malfunctions
