If you use the extract the LIF approach, you also get the date/time that the ignite backup was made, just in case you were interested.

Re: Ignite-UX. Reading tape headers without booting from tape?

Everyone: Thanks for the tips. I had some minor problems w/ Rene's suggestion but I get the idea of the un-tar and how it works. It seemed as though Stephen's suggestion worked best for me even though I don't understand it (I guess I'll have to find some time to read the man pages on dd and lifcp). You all rock! Thanks again.
