Re: Restoring from Tape

["Jeffrey M. Silberberg" <silbrbrg@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Gary, 

        A tape contains Volume Labels, HDR1/HDR2 File Labes, Data, and 
 TRL1/TRL2 file labels for each "File" on the tabe.  If you can estimate
 what number file you need you may be able to use BLP (Bypass Label 
Processing) to get to the "File/Object" you need to process.  

        Also, look at NL (Non Labeled) tape processing as a way to FSF, 
(Forward Space File) position the tape and copy/read the data into a save 
file or something..

        Good Luck, 
        JMS...
