At John Bordynuik Inc. (JBI), we have a proven track record of providing data recovery solutions to clients with huge volumes of valuable data that was previously unreadable. For years, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) had a problem in the form of two-dozen tons of unreadable computer tapes recorded between the 1960s and 1995. By successfully resolving this issue, John Bordynuik allowed MIT to address a data storage problem that had been growing for decades and launched a collaborative relationship that continues to benefit both parties to this day.
Poor Storage Conditions Leads to Unreadable Data
Over the years, approximately 15,000 7-track and 9-track tapes containing valuable research and development data had been stored in the basement of MIT’s old Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL). These tapes were exposed to extreme elements, including rain, snow, humidity and heat.
MIT allowed Bordynuik to demonstrate his custom data recovery technique on four sample tapes. When Bordynuik promptly read and returned the tapes, MIT was able to access to this data for the first time since it had been recorded. JBI next read 25 more sample tapes for MIT. After successfully reading these tapes, MIT then shipped a transport truck full of tapes containing valuable data from the 1960s through to the 1990s that had been written by dozens of different systems.
