Is that at the beginning of the backup file?

Hi Ken,
Here's the eyecatcher from a DMS (CA-DISK) 12.5 disk archive. It's
around column 4744 on my release.
.DMSRELNOC ..........12.5
Hope this helps.

I have a couple of old backup tapes from 1995ish that I believe were
created with a product called DMS.
The tapes are historical data from a series of company acquisitions so
the original creators are unavailable even to confirm that that was the
software used.
Does anyone know the history of DMS and if it is still available?
A search seems to point to CA-DISK as the current product but I cant be
sure if that is true or if there was another product by that name.
Does anyone know if there is an eyecatcher in the file contents that
could reasonably prove this is indeed a DMS backup (similar to the
THAT'S ALL FOLKS in FDR backups)?
Thanks all.
