LTO Tape recovery software

Recovering data from LTO tapes depends on the tape version and the type of data loss. For business-level recovery, Stellar Data Recovery is a reliable option, while Hedge Canister works well for managing LTFS-formatted tapes. Free tools like GNU ddrescue and TestDisk can recover data for those comfortable with command-line operations. Iperius Backup provides a versatile solution for cross-platform tape backups. Choosing the right software comes down to the tape type, the extent of the damage, and whether ease of use or advanced recovery features is more important, with commercial tools generally offering better support for critical data.
