Canister offers access to all your tapes without needing to mount them first. Catalogs are created for each tape and made available as a network mount indexed by your OS. All changes are tracked, all versions are kept, like a Time Machine.

No need to rename files before archiving them to tape. Canister handles any unsupported character for you including all international characters and extended attributes. Rocksolid, futureproof, and fully backwards compatible.

Meet the all-new Library Manager — the only true drag-and-drop UI for working with tape libraries. Currently available for macOS, and with full support for mail slots and single drive tape libraries.

No archive is useful if it hasn't been fully verified. Only then can you safely erase the original. With our Checkpoint verification technology built-in, Canister verifies every bit that goes onto a tape. Need MD5 for legacy workflows? We've got it.

Installing drivers for LTFS is a nightmare, if you need to manually do it. Canister’s Preflight Checks detect which drivers your system requires, serves you each download, so you'll be off to the races before you know it.

With projects taking weeks or even months to complete, archiving that what changed regularly is a necessity for many. With duplicate detection built into its core, Canister makes it possible to do those essential incremental backups without realizing it.

With a typical full-tape archival and verification easily taking the better part of 24 hours, getting a good sense of how long your transfer will take becomes essential. Canister's ETA algorithm tells you what you can expect, and when.

With LTO getting faster and faster, source media can quickly become a bottleneck. With regular copy methods, too slow sources shorten the lifespan of your tapes severely. Canister's Shoeshine Protection actively manages supply and demand, resulting in one steady and continous data stream.

Safety comes in numbers, so it's becoming more and more common to create multiple LTO copies at the same time - to save them in separate geographical locations. Canister's foundation is built to be truly multi-device.

Track the progress of your transfers, wherever you are, with our online dashboard Connect. Receive push notifications when a tape has finished, making sure you have the lowest turnaround time as possible on all that you need to do.

With a Pro license, the Connect online transfer overview and push notification gets superpowers; automatically enroll all computers that are registered to your license, and see which computer is doing what at a glance.

Whilst archives need to be a reflection of the original storage, it's not always needed to archive everything. Canister skips system default files like dot underscore and other network protocol sidecars, and offers granular control beyond that.

Canister comes with built-in support for MagStor's NanoPure premium LTO media. Precalibrated and sanitized, NanoPure media paired with Canister gives you a unique insight on the health status of your tapes each time you use them.

With LTO, there's always a need for paperwork somewhere down the line. That's why Canister packs it all: Transfer Logs, Media Hash Lists, Manifests, and a very complete in-app Console. Because you never know what you need, until you do.

Before Canister, LTO made you feel like you needed a Computer Science crash course. Everything that required you to resort to Terminal or PowerShell can now easily be done within Canister. Format, mount, erase - even recovery is built-in.

Sometimes you need to change a tape name to reflect its updated content. With Canister you can rename without having to format the tape.

Whether you need to deliver to Discovery Channel, Netflix, Sony, or other major networks, with Canister, you can be sure you provide your tapes in the correct format.

Canister makes it easy to retrieve files via its Catalogs. Just navigate your tape's catalog, select a file or folder, right-click and select "Retrieve..."

Don’t settle for just retrieving your files as is, but bring them in with the original folder structure intact. Quite useful when restoring projects that are sensitive to path changes.
