Dear Debra

thank for your reply

I'm trying to do what you suggested - I'll tell you how it will end
(it will take a while since the file size is 35 GB and we are coping
at 32K blocks)

however before doing what you suggested I also tried the following
command

dd if=backup   of=recovery.txt  bs=32k  count=1

just to extract the first page to see if it contains recovery
instructions, ... I only got binary garbage - so I think that
amfetchdump will automatically remove the first page from any part
of the backup (I defined part-size of 1500 mbyte in order to have
10% of the virtual tape size)

You might try the file command to see what the contents are.

 $ file recovery.txt
