Non-native restoration is a methodology that uses software that is designed to index data or rip data and/or databases from tapes for further extraction or processing.

Why Non-Native: 

•Can be a more efficient (fast) methodology in certain cases  

•Sequencing of tapes is less critical 

•Initial set-up time is less time consuming (not replicating the environment) 

•Good approach if underlying issue is disaster recovery/operational requests 

•Some clients shy away from non-native for litigation or external investigation 

•Tape indexing can be a useful approach for internal assessments, initial sampling, etc. 

Best available approach when native restoration cannot be utilized
