    Hello.

    About two years ago I did a backup of SINIX-P, the operating system
    that runs on my SNI RM-600 server (I do not trust a lot on tapes as
    long-live storage devices). To make a full backup of the five tapes
    of the operating system I used dd, until reached the end of the tape,
    on the non-rewind device. Perhaps you can dump all these chunks on
    numbered files and make some sense of them.

    By the way, good luck with the recovery operation!

    Cheers,
    Igor.
