Hi,

Just some additional information about the tapes here, if they have been in storage for a long time you may want to give the tape some exercise before trying to read data.

You should consider doing the following before trying to recover data, with the tape in the drive.

Code:
mt -f /dev/rmt/0n seod
mt -f /dev/rmt/0 retension

The device will have to be set for your system device, on the first command you are specifying read to the end of the valid data using the no-rewind device. The second command will rewind and retension the tape, usually at a much higher speed than the read commands (so saving time if there is an issue with the tape).

Once you have the tape ready to use you will have to catalog the tape into networker to allow you to see what is on the tape and recover it.

Regards

Dave

tcopy

tcopy(1)							   User Commands							  tcopy(1)

NAME

       tcopy - copy a magnetic tape

SYNOPSIS

       tcopy source [destination]

DESCRIPTION

       The  tcopy  utility copies the magnetic tape mounted on the tape drive specified by the source argument. The only assumption made about the
       contents of a tape is that there are two tape marks at the end.

       When only a source drive is specified, tcopy scans the tape, and displays information about the sizes of records and tape files. If a  des-
       tination  is  specified,  tcopy makes a copies the source tape onto the destination tape, with blocking preserved. As it copies, tcopy pro-
       duces the same output as it does when only scanning a tape.

       The tcopy utility requires the use of Berkeley-compatible device names. For example,

	 example% tcopy /dev/rmt/1b /dev/rmt/2b

       See attributes(5) for descriptions of the following attributes:
