Sounds like you had no backup at all. It might be a bit late to tell you, but: "backup" is not "i (probably) have written something to tape", but "i have written something to a tape i made sure i can read from".
I hate to say it, but AIX 3.2.5 is something you will most probably get absolutely nowhere. It went out of support somewhere around 1997 and i doubt that anybody has media that old (and still readable). I had 3.2.5 installed on a Model 32H which i tossed out some 15 years ago for a 43P running AIX 4.3.3 (and later 5.1).
I hope this helps (yes, this sounds cynical, but it is meant in earnest).
