That's a fantastic question. If we can use electron microscopes to recover trace data from hard drive platters, how much harder could magnetic tape be?

- Zigurd 11y agoI have not heard of a documented case of erased/overwritten data recovered from a hard drive. I have read articles, like this one, debunking the idea: http://www.nber.org/sys-admin/overwritten-data-guttman.html http://www.nber.org/sys-admin/overwritten-data-guttman.html This is not to say it's the same as recovering audio from analog tape.
