RE: Recover tape data






Okay…here’s what I understand about your tape file
 
(No HDR)
Data (7th file)
<EOF>
<HDR>
Data (8th file)
<EOF>
<HDR>
Data (9th file)
<EOF>
 
I’d use DITTO to copy them to an UNLABELed tape, then use an EPIC utility 
(TSIDDTD?) to copy the unlabeled to a EPIC-controlled dataset/tape.

Hi Listers, 

I have a tape that was written over with files intended for the end. There 
should be 9 standard label tape files, but instead contains data file 7, 
EOF label, then HDR - data - EOF for file 8 and HDR-data-EOF for file 9. I 
suspect the HDR label went to another drive and the correct tape was 
rewound, then the files were written, overlaying the first 6 files on the 
tape. 

We use BIM-EPIC from CSI, if that matters. 

How can I create a new tape with the 3 data files all wrapped in standard 
labels?
