Hello, some of my users have a small problem: they have a tape with some important data. Unfortunately they started to write at the beginning of the tape - thus the data closer to the end of the tape are inaccessible. (I told them to do their backup on two tapes - they simply ignored this advice, --censored remark--. No flames, please). Is there a way to read this data (eventually ignoring the first particially overwritten file)? Thank you very much for any hint! I'll post a summary.
