FW: Recovering data from initialized tape


> Well,
> 
> This is my first message to this list and unfortunately is under rather
> unpleasant circumstances.  I have managed to initialize a tape with approx
> 1 years worth of valuable data.  It is a 3570 tape that was initialized.
> I am not an as/400 ops person by any stretch of the imagination but I do
> take care of backups/restores among a couple of other jobs.  I am being
> told that the type of initialize that we do only deletes the header and
> technically the rest of the data is still on the tape.  I did some google
> searches and found something about "bypass label processing" but can't
> find enough detail to know if it would help me or not?  I have also read
> about services that will rebuild headers to recover the data, but no links
> or numbers to this type of service.
> 
> Thanks in advance for any info or help that you can provide....this is not
> good...  :(
