I've been using the virtual tape feature for a while, but we started to 
run low on disk space, so I carved up a new partition on the SAN and 
used the opportunity to upgrade the machine to RHEL5.  I kept my old 
virtual tape partition and backed up all my bacula files in case 
anything happened while I was in the process of upgrading.

Now that I've got the new system up and running, someone has asked for a 
file that apparently exists only on that old virtual tape drive. Even if 
I wanted to dump my new production install, I've discovered that I made 
some kind of mistake during my bacula backup and don't have the original 
config files.  So, what I'm wondering is if there is a way to import and 
restore from a batch of virtual tape files.  I believe I've read that 
this is possible with real tape, though it may take a long time.  Can 
someone give me a hint on how I might do this?  I don't suppose those 
files are in a format that I could just dump with tar or cpio?  That 
would be the easiest solution, it seems.

Thanks!
DC
