???? How can I find what backup software was used to write to a tape?
If someone can help, I would apreciate it.
Obviously......the customer can not remember what software was used.
Thanks a million in advance...

If you have a unix box around with a DLT4K/7K/8K/SDLT1 drive attached (or move your current drive if it is not internal), you could read the header of the tape with the "dd" command and hope there's an ASCII label with the software name.

If David's suggestion doesn't work, you may contact data recovery companies such as:
Computer Conversions 800-328-2911
Data Recovery Mon - Fri 7:30am - 6pm PST
That may be your only recourse.
Good luck and Happy Holidays

Didn't get HP's Tapeware with the pre -merger Compaq stuff though ...
Looks like there was no inbox software with the compaq models but the supported platforms were:
VERITAS Backup Exec v8.5 for Windows NT/2000
VERITAS Backup Exec v8.5 for NetWare
Computer Associates ARCserve 2000 for Windows NT/2000
Computer Associates ARCserveIT v6.6 for NetWare
Dantz Retrospect Backup v5.6 for Windows NT/2000 (Server & Workgroup version)
which narrows it down somewhat !

Ok, so don't leave us hanging - which backup app was it?
Second, what was the little utility you found similar to "dd"?

The Backup software was SnapBack
Yeah!!! I had heard of Snapback either!!!!
For a while I thought that the tapes were bad or the backup had not run reliably.
