FATAR

From the Vendor

FATS/FATAR is a set of multi-purpose tape subsystem tools which includes –

ERASURE. Quickly and securely erase full or partial tapes before they leave the safe confines of your data center.
CERTIFICATION. Meet audit requirements by verifying the quality of your tape media and certifying the readability of your tape-based data.
RECOVERY. Recover data from tape errors, data checks and improperly closed tapes.
MAPPING. Map a tape to verify its characteristics and contents - the files, the filenames, DCB characteristics, blocksizes, creation and expiration dates, compression statistics.
COPY. Copy a tape, either an exact “bit-for-bit” image, or a “logical” copy, which allows you to rename, reblock, and selectively copy files.
