Trying to restore data from backup tapes done on a RH 7.3 system (4MM DAT). Tried loading Knoppix, but unfortunately, no joy with mt (it sees the drive, but nothing else), restore, or tar.
What error message are you getting when using mt, restore, or tar? What command or program did you use to create the tape?
Is there any simple way to figure out the tape format?
You should be able to use dd straight from the device. How big is the tape? I ask because I recall many moons ago, we also were having some issues with a tape device. So we dd'ed tape device to a file and used tar on the file. Don't quote me on that exact method, but it was something like that.
