The SDLT tapes are one of the most well distinguishing backup tapes that are used at the time. SDLT is a variant of the DLT Tape technology developed by Digital Equipment Corporation in 1984 with a higher capacity. There are following types of SDLT tapes SDLT, SDLT-1, SDLT-2, SDLT BARCODE LABELS, Baba Certified SDLT Media

The SDLT tapes adds an optical servo system that reads servo patterns on the back of the tape, in order to keep the data tracks on the front of the tape correctly aligned with the read/write heads. This is important for newer tape media, which have very thin dense data tracks. Media are guaranteed for 30 years of data retention under specified environmental conditions; however, they are easily damaged by mishandling. SDLT tapes typically has a minimum capacity of 110 GB going up to a maximum of 800 GB with the recently developed DLT-IV Tapes and DLT VS-1 Tapes. DLT tape drives deliver high-performance and supreme reliability allowing businesses to do more with less. The Super DLT or SDLT tape drives are well suited for storing, archiving and backing up large volumes of data in midrange UNIX and Windows NT environments.
DLT Tape, SDLT tapes users gets increasingly sensitive to data security in the wake of high profile data loss incidents, and encryption techniques have appeared to help ensure security. Thus, the use of encryption has a profound effect on corporate liability and reporting obligations. We can find this increasingly sensitive in LTO Tapes, AIT Tapes, 4MM Tapes 8MM Tapes and Enterprise Tapes as well.
