Losing your data and knowing you are in no position to ever have it back is a little gruesome nightmare which we all have been through at least for once in our computer dependant life. Compare those mini heart attacks you get when Microsoft Word gets shut down accidently or due to some power failure and you had not saved the work you were doing with losing everything that was on your hard disk. This surely can be a little more depressing than losing just a Word file.

It is unfortunate that even after knowing such incidents can happen and disrupt one’s daily routine, people still manage to avoid keeping backups. Keeping backups of your data is the most important thing and should be on your list of priorities yet it is the most neglected area. People suffer at the hands of incidents such as virus attacks, unauthorized access and hacking et cetera. And they might realize the importance once they have been through this nightmare. But why wait for something like that to happen before you can start keeping backups? Losing data might be tolerable for individuals working at home or even at offices for their own personal projects ...
... but imagine such a loss for a business which bases its operations on computer systems every single day. This might get a little rough. To avoid this, businesses have been advised to get their hands on the backup technology, to avoid such accidents in the near future.

For the purpose of this, tape system such as the Quantum DAT-160 have been developed to keep data secure. Tape drives are the most useful for keeping backups. They are used to both read and write data which has been stored on a magnetic tape.

Quantum has always been the number one brand when it comes to computer related products and brand is one thing which plays a very important role in the reliability and validity of the products.

This is quite a lot and will easily manage a good amount of data to be stored. The data transfer speed of the Quantum DAT-160 drive is 2 megabytes per second. The tape has a length of 155 meters, providing for a very vast data storage capacity. This is extremely ideal for small and medium sized businesses.
