Optical Media & Tape Destruction
Old backup tapes and disc archives sitting in a storage closet are still a data liability, even if nobody has touched them in years. eWaste Solutions provides certified destruction of CDs, DVDs, Blu-ray discs, and LTO and DAT backup tapes, documented to the same standard as our hard drive destruction service.
That box of old backup tapes is still a liability.
Optical media and backup tapes are easy to forget about. They're not in active use, they're often stored away from primary IT infrastructure, and there's no login screen reminding anyone they exist. But a decade-old LTO backup tape or a box of archived DVDs can still contain complete, readable copies of sensitive data. eWaste Solutions destroys this media to the same certified standard as our primary hard drive destruction service, with documentation for every batch.
