Backup Tape Forensics is Here to Stay
11-10-2009, Digital Forensics Magazine - Gavin W. Manes, et al. 
Although magnetic tape storage is often perceived as a rarity by digital forensics investigators, there are an increasing number of situations that require tape recovery and analysis. Many companies use tape backup systems to comply with various regulatory and statutory requirements, which brings the forensics issues with their acquisition and investigation to the
forefront. The ability to perform digital forensics investigations on storage tapes is an important tool in any forensics professional’s arsenal, and a thorough understanding of the situations and techniques where these storage devices will appear can alleviate some of the inevitable issues. This paper summarises the main challenges to magnetic tape storage forensics, and includes two case studies of investigations that required backup tape analysis.
