Overview

Magnetic tape is a medium for magnetic storage made of a thin, magnetizable coating on a long, narrow strip of plastic film. It has been used in various applications, including radio, computers, and backup purposes. Magnetic tape has a tendency to degrade over time, making it less ideal for long-term archival storage. However, data tape formats like LTO are designed for long-term archiving. Google and Amazon use magnetic tapes to store and archive their vast amounts of data. Magnetic tape is used in many industries, such as audio and video production.
