Lto Tapes Read errors

Hello,

I’m face a problem with many of my old LTO Tapes that was backed up using lto 3 and lto6 drives. The magority was backed using a software called Archiware P5 and the rest using Ltfs format.

Most of the tapes suffer from unrecoverable read errors when trying to restore them after a while. I tried different drives to read the tapes but I reach the same result.

The only way I found to get the data on the tapes other than a data recovery company.

After many searches I’m trying to find a way to take an image of the tape as a raw image with skipping all the read errors to a hard disk or a device to duplicate the tape to another new one.

Is there any other way or better way I can restore data from these tapes without sending them to recovery service.

Best Regards
