507.0. "Recovering Data from a TZ87?" by CSC32::L_SOBCZYNSKI () Tue Apr 22 1997 08:08


Need Assist,

Have a customer who mistakenly initialized his data tape a 
TZ87, there apparently is an urgent need to recover the 
data that is still on the tape.

Need some direction;
01->is there anything we have in a canned utility that can help?
02->if above is no, what would it take to get the right group
    involved?

Any suggestions are welcomed.

This note will be cross posted in the tape notes file as well.
    
Regards
Leonard

507.1	the short answer is...	CUJO::SAMPSON		`Tue Apr 22 1997 10:39`	2
	...ask Quantum Corp.; they are now the owners of the drive microcode.
507.2		LEFTY::CWILLIAMS	CD or not CD, that's the question	`Tue Apr 22 1997 11:07`	6
	And no, we don't have any easy, canned way to do this. Quantum may... As may some of the 3rd party data recovery companies. CHris
507.3	Ovation does recovery services	CSC32::L_SOBCZYNSKI		`Tue Apr 22 1997 14:48`	10
