Customised LTO Barcodes

DESCRIPTION

Customised LTO Barcode labels are important tools for the proper management of your tape inventory. At TIMG, we print quality barcode labels for all tape media, on request. Never run out of labels or repeat segments of your sequence.

Improved data organisation and management. Customised barcodes allow organisations to uniquely identify and organise their LTO tapes, helping in efficient cataloging and retrieval.  They provide distinct labels for different types of data or backup sets, simplifying storage management for data centers and IT departments.

Accurate tape identification. LTO tapes are often used in automated tape libraries that rely on barcode scanners to select and load the correct tape. Custom barcodes ensure that each tape is correctly identified by the system, reducing the risk of misloading or overwriting data.

Compliance with data retention policies. Many industries have strict data retention policies. Customised barcodes make it easier to track tapes in compliance with these regulations, ensuring that tapes are properly labeled for long-term storage or deletion.

Optimised workflow in back and recovery. In disaster recovery scenarios, quick and accurate identification of backup tapes is critical. Customised barcodes help speed up the process of locating the right tapes, reducing downtime and improving recovery time objectives.

BENEFITS

• When your existing barcode sequence is nearing the end of its run, we can print an extension of your barcode range with our fully customisable LTO barcodes.
• You can purchase single sheets of 20 labels per sheet.  
• We keep a full history of your barcode range so that you never run the risk of repeating any part of your barcode sequence.
