A lot of companies store tape backups for security and management intents, and there is always the risk that these backups will be turned a loss or stolen in transit or at the archive storage installation, disclosing organizations to the risk of data falling out . By embedding RFID tags into each cartridge and incorporating this into the serial number management system, these units can be more well keyed out and trailed.
