put the possibility of bad media aside for a moment
Well, I tried another set of backup tapes with the same results, the "unable to read volume header. . ." Is there a way I can verify what type of backup was used to create these tapes. My manager, whom inherited this server, doesn't remember much about the backup and restoration processes, except that he used the backup.script listed on at least one occasion.
Putting the possibility of bad media aside, how would I go about finding out what's on the tapes. It appears from they are neither tar'd, nor frecover backups. Could they be cpio's or something else? Please pass on the commands that would help me narrow this down.
Thanks
