Tape Restoration

Trusted Data Solutions can restore, index  and  process every backup tape format, optical disk format, and logical format that has been in commercial use over the past 30 years.   This includes ALL major backup software systems in use.

The TDS development group has extensive experience in these systems and has developed customized non-native solutions to efficiently access and restore these formats in a technically sound and legally defensible process.

Email Processing

Email has become the primary means of communication in the corporate world. Accordingly the demand to manage this data as a source of ESI in a litigation and compliance context has emerged as one of the greatest challenges by corporations world-wide.

Nearly a decade ago certain financial services companies were forced by regulatory requirements to implement email archive systems. Email archives have evolved into providing any company who has an on-going need to access archived email for litigation and/or investigative purposes.

Services Overview

Voicelogging and Voicemail

TDS engineers pioneered voice-logging and audio tape processing many years before the new FRCP rules formally broadened the definition of discoverable electronic evidence and audio search technologies reached their current maturity.
TDS’ process restores recordings from voice-logger tape or optical disk non-natively (i.e., without the equipment originally used to write the tapes), converts the audio from a proprietary/compressed format to .WAV/.MP3 and associates recovered metadata to individual recordings for objective culling.

Legacy Data Conversion

TDS’s technical experience is rooted in the reading, extraction and conversion of business critical legacy data. Over the years the TDS team has built up hands on experience in converting and migrating hundreds of different business system data streams.
TDS specializes in the migration of existing email archive systems to more modern systems. Whether due to corporate consolidation, or technology upgrade, many customers are faced with the challenge of migrating large volumes of email archives (held with in proprietary formats) to new platforms.

TDS helps customers gain insight into the content of its legacy backup tapes in a cost effective, auditable, and defensible process.
