How should I store and maintain tape media?

TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY

To achieve maximum tape media life, users must ensure that they are kept

under optimal temperature and humidity. Tapes should not be exposed to

temperatures exceeding about 120 degrees Fahrenheit, such as under direct

strong sunlight. The high temperature may cause the tape to melt, increasing

chances of the adjacent layers of tape sticking together. Hence, tape

cartridges are best stored under room temperature.

AVOID MAGNETIC FIELDS AND DUST

Tape media should be kept away from strong magnetic ﬁelds and dust to

reduce the risk of data loss. The most common sources of magnetic ﬁeld

exposure is contact or long-term proximity to regular, permanent magnets

such as cathode-ray tubes, transformers and speakers. Tape media may also

be damaged by being left out of its storage case or inside a media drive for a

long time when dust is collected.

CLEAN THE TAPE DRIVE REGULARLY

Using a tape drive with a dirty head might cause data problem, hence regular

cleaning is a must. When the tape drive is turned on, its built-in fan may

cause small amounts of dust to enter the drive. Ideally, cleaning of the tape

drive should be scheduled weekly.

CHANGING MEDIA

The life of each tape media depends on the way it is utilised and stored, as

well as the condition of the tape drive. Hence, tape media should be replaced

when necessary.
