LTO Tape Archive

Enterprise-Grade

Safeguard your audio, photo, and video assets using LTO tape - the same archival technology trusted by film studios, broadcasters, and data centres worldwide. Each LTO-9 cartridge stores up to 18 TB natively, with an archival life of 30+ years. We create a meticulously organised directory structure and log file, ensuring your entire catalogue is easily navigable and future-accessible.

Why not hard drives? Traditional hard drives rely on mechanical components, spinning disks, motors, and read/write heads that can fail unexpectedly. Even unused drives degrade over time, making them unreliable for long-term preservation without a dedicated archival strategy.

Proxy files can be linked directly to the Vastora digital archive for seamless browsing. Optional backup copies available for dual-location storage or our secure offsite service.

Legacy Media Digitisation

Tape & Film

We digitise legacy formats - MiniDV, Super 8, VHS, Hi8, and other tape and film formats - transforming them into high-quality digital files ready for modern use and long-term preservation. We also capture slides, negatives, and photographic prints, converting them into detailed digital images while preserving the character of the originals.

In addition we offer AI or manual media restoration services improving the quality of your legacy media.

Once digitised, your media can be securely stored and organised through the Vastora Digital Media Archive, with optional LTO tape backup for true long-term protection. Alternatively your newly created media can be delivered digitally via secure transfer, or on physical media such as SSDs or encrypted drives.

Offsite Storage & Recovery

Secure

We offer secure offsite storage for LTO archive tapes, ensuring your data is protected beyond your primary location. Tapes are housed in weatherproof transport cases holding up to 36 tapes each (648 TB of data), stored within a professionally managed facility designed to safeguard valuable media assets.

When access is required, data can be retrieved on request and delivered digitally via secure transfer, or on physical media such as SSDs or encrypted drives.

Secure Data Destruction

Certified

When sensitive data reaches end-of-life, it must be eliminated completely. We provide certified data destruction for hard drives, LTO tapes, and other media formats - including professional-grade erasure and physical destruction where required. A certificate of destruction is provided for audit and compliance purposes.

Permanent, verifiable, and secure - because some data should never be recoverable.
