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.
