I recall a script called 'amcattape' or something like that. I think it was a third-party thing, and I don't remember where I got it, but possibly the amanda wiki. I haven't looked at it in years, but it would read a tape and output a description of the contents, with all DLEs. It didn't create a proper index, but was useful in a couple of emergencies. -- -------------------------------------------------------------- Jeffrey Anderson | [email protected] Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory | Office: 50A-5104E | Mailstop 50A-5101 Phone: 510 486-4208 | Fax: 510 486-4204
