• DataByte Archival Tape Reader
  The DataByte Archival Tape Reader (ATR) is a standalone platform that reads standard VOS DAT or DLT tape formats and transfers them over Ethernet to a Stratus V Series host. The data may then be safely and easily converted to new media formats. ATR facilitates data transfer from low-capacity tapes to high-capacity tapes or to an Enterprise Backup facility. ATR is especially useful for installations that have migrated from Continuum to V Series and have a library of DAT or DLT tapes. They can either perform a bulk transfer of their tapes to new media/enterprise storage or use the ATR to retrieve information on an as needed basis.
