I presume you used fbackup to create the tape, because you used SAM?

Just run frecover -v -r -N -f /dev/rmt/0m to read back the tape. It will not recover the data. I hope it contains timestamps.

it was created using fbackup.. but infortunately that was on an old box and fbackup/frecover is not installed on this box.. (we basically have it just to do file restores to)

Is the Box HP-UX??
Then you should have fbackup i think.

If it's an HP box, you must have fbackup and frecover. The full path is /usr/sbin/fbackup and /usr/sbin/frecover.
