RE: NT Tape Display

["Wilt, Charles" <CWilt@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

If you save the NT server files by saving the network storage spaces, which 
appears to be what you have done.  Then the only way to restore an individual 
file is to restore the entire space first.

What you could do, is restore the space to a new name, then attached the 
restored space to the same server.   You should be able to get it to show as 
another drive from Windows.  Then this copy the required directory using 
explorer.

As far as Backup Exec.  Assuming you didn't prohibit it, you can configure the 
Windows PC to see the tape drive and use it with Backup Exec.  Note that the 
drive has to be varied off to be transferred from OS/400 use to Windows use.
