Hello, Thanks for the reply. I tried these comments, here is the output:
atenre...@intranet:~$ sudo afio -t /dev/nst0 afio: "/dev/nst0" [offset 0]: Cannot allocate memory afio: "/dev/nst0": Input does not start with valid archive header. afio: "/dev/nst0": Use the -k option to start reading in the middle of an archive. afio: "/dev/nst0" [offset 6]: Fatal error: afio: "/dev/nst0": Unrecognizable archive atenre...@intranet:~$ atenre...@intranet:~$ sudo afio -i /dev/nst0 afio: "/dev/nst0": No input atenre...@intranet:~$ I did not create the tape, as so, I cannot be 100% sure if the tape was correctly created. I'm willing to pay someone to help me to fix this problem. Thanks!

I'd try afio -t /dev/nst0 or afio -i /dev/nst0 to see whether, after all, it is generally possible to get data off your tape in your given environment. This way, you eventually might be capable of making sure at least your tape is fine...
