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 optimum temperature and humidity conditions. Tapes should not be

exposed to temperatures exceeding 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, during which dust is deposited in the media.

CLEAN THE TAPE DRIVE REGULARLY

Using a tape drive with a dirty head might cause data problems, 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.
