- What is NovaXchange?
NovaXchange allows you to transfer and manage all types of data between different tape types, file types, and even over different operating systems and architectures.

And for the dubious job of upgrading old tapes to newer systems, NovaXchange makes data and format transfers a snap. More Info.
