The DLT-4 tapes were written using Windows Veritas Backup Exec. There was trouble getting the files off the backup set as Windows kept failing with drive I/O error. Thanks again for your help on this..

The tape was a DC6150 cassette used on an HP / Apollo Domain with a Unix type software. The Data Cartridge measures 4"x6"x1/2". The files required belonged to FEM Software - Sesam 77 from DNV (The Norwegian Veritas). Thank you very much for the swift and professional help you have given here..

The tapes were marked Jumbo Certified QIC-80 DT 250 Mini Data Cartridges, Verbatim DC2120 Mini Cartouche & 3M MC 3000 XL MiniCartridge Taumat format. Data was stored using HP Colorado Memory Systems Backup Software and was recovered to a CD that could be read by Windows PC or Mac computers. This (the recovery) is excellent.
