Arcada Backup hell?

I finally received Arcada Backup for Windows 95 by AirBorne Express this 
morning (after ordering it in November!).  The version number is 1.0a 
and it certainly looks like the original they cut last year (September 
95 date on the .EXE).

My first big problem:
I've got a SCSI DAT drive and Arcada has identified it correctly.  I've 
cut some new backups and read them just fine.  The problem is Arcada 
won't read any of my old backups!  These backups were made using Arcada 
Backup for DOS/Windows and if I boot back to my old DOS side, I can 
still read the tapes.

I called Arcada Tech Support and they say the Arcada Backup for Win95 
"might not read old backups".  What the ...!?  I checked their web site 
and found a FAQ for this product.  It states directly in the FAQ that 
this product *should* read old backups.

What has been other peoples experience with restoring older backup sets, 
especially with SCSI devices like a DAT drive?  Are all these old 
backups now in Arcada Backup hell?
