Re: Tape from archived

Can't tell you exactly which doc, but IBM support has an apar or knowledge
base
doc (free) that describes the tape drive compatibilities. Some newer drives
may not read
525 compressed.
I have also seen that some ptfs (at certain releases) have been required to
restore very old stuff.
These ptfs may not be in the cume cds.
