German term

Band

German to English Tech/Engineering
as in computerese in such compounds as: Installationsband
Wartungsbaender

I suspect it means 'reel' but I need to make sure.

Proposed translations

13 hrs
Selected

tape / cartridge tape / reel tape

For the above examples however I would simply use installation tape and perhaps backup/service tape (for Wartungsband, which doesn\'t actually appear on a web search so must be an unusual word?).

tape
