Hello happy list friends,
 I have a tape with some misc. files on it I would like to do a
partial restore from.
 I entered the commands:
FILE T;DEV=13
RESTORE *T;CODES.SOURCE.MUB3;SHOW

Then it spits back out:

>> TURBO-STORE/RESTORE  VERSION  C.60.07  B5152AA  <<
           (C) 1986 HEWLETT-PACKARD CO.

RESTORE  *T;CODES.SOURCE.MUB3;SHOW

MON, DEC 23, 2002,  3:31 PM


WILL RESTORE 1 FILES  ; NUMBER OF FILES ON MEDIA 14950

FILENAME GROUP ACCOUNT  VOLUME RESTRICTIONS SECTORS CODE MEDIA


 In the past it would then start streaming information about the
file I'm restoring, and then print a summery of info at the end.
But for some reason this one doesn't do anything.
 I know the file is on the tape becuse I can do a listdir
@.source.mub3 I see it there.
 It has been sitting at this location for over an hour. I tried
resting the tape by taking it out and putting it back in. Then I
get a messege saying that media is same as previously requested.
But it still sit's there. I've aborted it and tried a different
file on the tape in which the same thing happens.
 I tried restoring files from a differnet tape on that drive and
it worked just fine. So I'm pretty sure it's not the drive. The
only things I can think of are...
 It's a bad tape, or it's a software issue. I don't think the
tape is bad becuse I can do a @[log in to unmask]@ listdir and I see all the
files stream by. So I guess if It can read the filenames, it
should be able to restore them, or at least it should send back
an error that it can't read the tape..
 Or it's a software issue. I would be inclined to think that's
the case due to lack of error messeges, or a compatiblity issue
if this tape was written with a different version then the turbo
store we currently have....

 Anyone have any suggestions on direction that I can take to
diagnose this problem? I would really like to recover a few
files off this tape if possible...

Thanks in advance,
GehanG
