Folks,
I received a couple of DC6250 backup tapes this morning. While writing a
program to unravel the backup format looks to be pretty simple, I'd like to
know what created these beasts. They're from a Windoze box circa 1995.
The "GENERATION" right at the start might be a hint.
Here's a dump of the first few bytes of a tape, hex on the left, ASCII on
the right:

Anyone got an idea? It's not MSBACKUP, nor SYTOS.
Thanks,
Chuck
