That just seems wrong.
Correct, back10 does get some things wrong. It also puts some data at
the beginning of files which should be part of the file header. TITO
uses the "*FAILSAFE" magic number which fools back10 to think it's
FAILSAFE.
What problem do you have with my tito tool? Which tape did you try?
I haven't tested all tapes, so maybe some of them has surprises.
Like I said before
$ ./tito -x -f 169249.tape
fopen: Is a directory
$ bin/back10 -l -f 169249.tape | head
18-Nov-1858 00:00:00 <754> dsk:[1,1][3,700202].ufd
18-Nov-1858 00:00:00 <754> dsk:[1,1][3,700004].ufd
18-Nov-1858 00:00:00 <754> dsk:[1,1][3,700220].ufd
$ bin/back10 -x -f 169249.tape
that gets lots of files with names like 'dsk:[1,4]specdf525].mic'
I'm not sure what to do with the file checksum
yet.
That is useful to verify that we reassembled the pieces correctly.
$ sha1sum 169249.tape
1230fb20086990a1ff777fce32591f2900425694 169249.tape
This matches yours.
