HHHeeelllppp! I am not sure where to post this, so I will take my chances on being flamed. I need to restore a corrupted backup! Question 1: Is there a program out there that will possibly repair a backup tape's header? I am using a TR-1 tape in a Colorado T1000 tape drive. Question 2: Or is there any way to dump the tape contents onto my hard drive so that I can sort through it using Norton Utilities or some other hex editor? I was using "Colorado Backup for Win95", I switched to "Cheyenne Backup for Win95". Before I switched, I made backup tapes with the Colorado program (2 tapes in the set). I need to recover that backup set. One problem, though, the first part of the first tape of the set has been corrupted. It happened as follows, last week I started to do a complete backup with the new Cheyenne program and I accidentally used my original backup. I yanked it out in about 30 seconds after realizing that I was overwriting my completed backup of two months ago. It corrupted the header. Any help would be greatly appreciated! david dsanders@bellsouth.net
