Hi

I have an urgent problem to solve. I need to recover a few files from a DLT
tape. The backup was done on a DLT 7000 device, using the Fbackup tool
available on HP-UX. When I try and recover using the command "frecover" I
am only able to restore the first two files that was backed up, the rest
just doesn't restore, it hangs with no error message. I have tried to
recover on a different box that the back was done on, and I get the same
results. How can I get those files off the tape?
