# Advanced Downloading Ltd
Advanced Downloading Ltd specialises in VAX VMS and ALPHA OpenVMS BACKUP tape migration, recovery, and conversion. Based in London, they help organisations preserve and extract critical data from legacy computer tape formats that are increasingly difficult to access with modern systems.
The company works with an extensive range of tape cartridge formats spanning decades of technology, from ½" 9-track reel tape to contemporary LTO Ultrium formats. This includes 3480/3490/3570/3590 series, DAT/DDS, 8mm Exabyte, DLT variants, SDLT, SLR, AIT, VXA, and CompacTape formats. Their expertise in legacy VMS systems is particularly valuable for organisations managing long-term archival data or those migrating away from aging infrastructure.
What distinguishes Advanced Downloading Ltd is their commitment to accuracy and speed. Every migrated tape is verified against the original to guarantee exact copying, addressing a critical concern when handling irreplaceable business data. The operation runs 24/7 with banks of dedicated tape drives and servers, supported by highly trained staff. This infrastructure allows them to process large volumes of legacy tapes efficiently, which is essential for organisations facing urgent data recovery deadlines or extensive archive conversion projects.
Their service extends beyond simple data copying to include recovery and extraction, suggesting they can handle damaged or corrupted tapes. This combination of technical expertise, comprehensive format support, and operational scale makes them a specialised solution for businesses needing to rescue data trapped on obsolete media.
