So does DITTO. I also have my own HLASM tape copy programs that use basic CCWs for tape I-O that I could modify, if needed, to read the readable sections of the tape. The bigger problem is the programs that created the back-ups. For many of the tapes, we don't even know their internal format

Rule of thumb: you don't need old tapes, you may need old data. In my former life I had 20 years old data, but the tapes were approx. 2-3 years old (max.). And always replicated, always in two locations. For old media (tapes, optical, hdd's, whatever) the earlier you start reading them the
