Managing computer backup tapes isn’t as simple as it looks. Whether you’re looking to replace your Excel spreadsheet or that home-grown tape management database your boss wrote 20 years ago, you need a solution that not only meets your expectations but exceeds them.
Designed and supported by people with a passion for managing computer backup tapes, TapeTrack is trusted by more than 4000 companies around the world.
Make some time to have a live demonstration and find out why just how simple it can be to manage your tape library with absolute confidence.
You can run your TapeTrack Server on Windows or Linux in your own datacenter, or we can host it for you at no additional cost. Either way we have you 100% covered with technical support, documentation and plenty of how-tos.
Encryption, 2FA and Single Sign-On
We get that your backup tapes are your last line of defense, so we encrypt all TapeTrack communications with strong AES 256-bit encryption. If you want it we’ve also got two-factor authentication and Windows Kerberos Single Sign-On.
TapeTrack supports as many data centers as you want, and within a data center you can track any tape to as many locations as you want; tape robot, off-site vault, legal hold, scratch rack, destruction, you name it.
Want to go back in time? Fire up the DeLorean.
TapeTrack logs everything (logins, tape additions, deletions, movements) so if something goes wrong you can see who was involved and what was going on at the same time. Our History Rewind feature even lets you see where every tape was at any point in the past.
Plenty of Out-of-the-box integrations
TapeTrack has more than one hundred standard reports that you can schedule and email to others, but’s that’s only where the decisions start. You can slice and dice the data for each report so you can get it exactly how you want it, and then produce the report in Text, JSON, Excel, XML, HTML and PDF. Can’t make up your mind? Run all of them; it’s not going to cost you anything extra.
Things aren’t always where you expect them to be
We get it, you’re busy and things aren’t always done as quickly as you’d want, but at some point, in time you need to draw a line in the sand. TapeTrack allows you to run automated reconciliations against your robotic tape libraries and your off-site vendor, and if something isn’t where it is meant to be the tape will be flagged for further investigation.
Don’t worry we’ve seen it all before
No matter what backup product you’re using we’ve seen it before, and we know how to deal with it. If your backup product is smart enough to know what needs to be moved around TapeTrack will just follow its lead, if it’s not TapeTrack is smart enough to work out what needs to go off-site and what needs to come back.
TapeTrack communications are encrypted with AES 256 Bit Encryption.
Ability to integrate with Windows Active Directory Authentication and Access Control, as well as Kerberos Single-Signon.
For added security Windows Software is digitally signed.
TapeTrack Stock Control enables you to enter tapes into TapeTrack without barcodes, manage current stock levels and track history of new stock usage.
TapeTrack syncronizes with all major tape management packages and backup software and can even perform reconciliations against third party inventories such as Iron Mountain’s SecureSync.
Supported systems include:
No need to FTP or install ODBC drivers, TapeTrack integrates out of the box on your preferred platform. Mainframe through to desktop.
TapeTrack will work with any number of tapes, from 1 to millions, but the product isn’t free so there is a point where the product becomes worth the investment.
We have customers with less than 1,000 tapes and these people find the product good value, but from experience people with small numbers of tapes tend to not put much focus or importance on tape management.
The harsh reality is that people buy our product after they’ve had a number of major tape loss and security issues, and the more tapes you have the greater chance you have of losing tapes.
TapeTrack software is available on a 90 day trial period so you can be sure that is the right fit for your organisation.
The trial period gives you fully functional software, installation advice, technical support and staff training during the 90 day period to help you get the best out of TapeTrack.
The product is licensed as a suite of modules, which consists of one TapeTrack Framework Server, and the required modules required to meet the customer’s specific needs. The software can either be leased on a subscription basis or perpetually licensed.
TapeTrack runs exactly the same way in the Cloud as it does on-premises.
The only difference is that in the Cloud TapeTrack can’t offer Active Directory authentication and access control and has to fall back to native mechanisms (that are exactly the same but are not managed by your local Windows environment).
