Were you able to read it after the backup?
Can you read it on another machine? What was the command you used to tar
it? I am wondering if you can tar something to /dev/fd0 rather than
/mnt/floppy and if so what you would do to get it back. Perhaps something
like dd if=/dev/fd0 of=/tmp/prayer would get the data to the hard drive
but
I really don't know.
