Discovering Tape Contents (What BU software was used?)

Hi all,

   Fun question here.  I've got a series of DLT IV tapes sitting here, I'm not sure what software was used to back up the data at all.  NTBACKUP and Ultrabac 8 (Fresh install) do not seem to recognize or show valid data.  I do know that NTBACKUP noticed data, and Ultrabac 8 is allowing me to push it to a file right now.  I tried the INDEX TAPE function in Ultrabac, but it comes up with a "no index / data" found type of error.  The drive, cable, and HBA are good.  I'm new at backups and was asked to go through some of this.

Thoughts anyone?

Thanks

Good grief!  I left this one open way too long.  Disorganise, I appologize about the delay.  This project was passed over for other stuff (red tape...).  I haven't tried ARCServe, but I think you might be on to something...

I'm awarding points for what it's worth to you:)  I appreciate the help!
