Hi,
We have a friend with a "tape" (DDS, DLT, or LTO ... don't know which yet)
to which was written a system backup. Thousands of files, with an EOF
between each file, and a double EOF + EOT at the end.
The problem:
They then accidentally overwrote the start of the tape yesterday
with about 1 KB of data, plus EOT.
?
Have you approached a commercial recovery service for a quote?
A few do tape media. Whether they quote or not may provide a data point about how
feasible it may be.
Good luck
Jerry
