Subject: [expert] How to read a 8mm tape with xerox docutech files
Hi,
I need to recover information from a 8mm tape (8200 ...) write by a
Xerox Docutech 135 and I don't know how to do exactly. Talking with
xerox people they said that the information is stored with a normal unix
tar. I can read a file but it only has the volume description of the
tape. So I don't know how to access the other information. I don't know
if I have to change the partition, counts, etc. All of tapes is new for
me.
I can do a cat /dev/st0 > file.tar and recover the volume descriptor but
nothing more.
Any ideas, has anybody suffered a similar problem?
Leo
