Hi,

I'm trying to extract the contents of a 4MM tape using dd.

The tape contains backup data from a Windows NT machine. I am waiting for
confirmation of the backup software used.

Can I use dd to extract the contents of the tape?

I've tried using this command

dd if=/dev/st0   of=tapedata

But LINUX responds

dd: /dev/st0: Input/output error
0+0 records in
0+0 records out

I checked that all was well with the tape drive by successfully extracting
data from another  tape containing  linux backup data.

We are using redhat 6, and an internal 4MM tape.

Can anybody help?

Cheers,

Nigel
