eClaris’ Backup Tape Extraction option, powered by Index Engines Tape Engine, grants our customers a safer, quicker method of locating electronically stored information (ESI) found on their backup tapes. This new service enables us to pinpoint and extract relevant data from massive amounts of offline tapes without needing to install and run the original backup software. In turn, this service minimizes risk, reduced cost and shortens turn-around time while providing case data quicker and more efficiently.

As a result our clients can rapidly locate the data they require without restoring the entire tape contents, indexing the files found, and then ostensibly starting the search process from scratch. For example, via our Overland 4400 tape library we can index 208 tapes within 8-10 hours, a process that otherwise takes weeks to complete. Our high speed indexing option furbishes a comprehensive index including all relevant files, file metadata, and user/security indicators for all offline ESI.

In addition, eClaris’ clients are to have the data located on their directly indexed offline backup tapes instantaneously searchable. This eradicates the need to restore tape contents in order to search them. In turn, our customers are able to convert archival tape contents into a searchable database. The backup tape contents are immediately searchable, both the full content and metadata.

Finally, eClaris’ customers enjoy a streamlined process when restoring their backup tapes. This is because we are able to simplify the backup tape restoration process by producing query results with file location and tape ID. This allows users to designate the data they wish to restore in a query results window and then have eClaris automatically generate a report and request to do so with of the customer’s relevant information.
