How to determine the contents of a tape?


Recommended Posts

I have a tape of some archived material that that's giving error 206- bad media, dirty heads in either of 2 tape drives that I can read it in. No big problem- this material was archived in duplicate, so it was restored from the offsite tapes.

 

Now I'd like to get the contents of that damaged tape archived in duplicate again. I can't see a way under Retrospect 4 to ask "What's the contents of <damaged tape #> of The Onsite 2002 Archives?", get my answer, then get The 2002 Offsite Archives to retreive those files to a temporary folder, so I can then run The Onsite 2002 Archives set again, backing up only that temp folder, and having that content on site and now in duplicate again.

 

Man, that's a mouthful, I hope it makes sense. Is there any way to do this? What's the smartest way to figure out exactly what's lost when a tape become unavailable?
