Hi folks,

I'm running BSCAN to recover old data from LTO-2 tapes. The backup job spanned 3 tapes/volumes. I ran the BSCAN command listing the volumes as required with the first tape in the drive - this is NOT an autochanger. BSCAN seemed to start OK, found the tape, dbase etc., and has been running now for about 24hrs with the first tape still in the drive!

So, my questions, will BSCAN ask for the next tape when the first is done? Or, how will I know how to change it? Should it be taking this long for a 400Gb tape? The tape drive moves for a few seconds, pauses a few seconds and moves again, now for a full day!

I'm trying to recover a specific project in this old data, there is probably over 100 projects saved on these tapes. Is there a better way to do this?

Any help appreciated! Thanks much!
