Tape Format Compatibility Problem
|
|

|
Hi,
I am helping someone with migrating a DOS-based record system into a new
one. The DOS-based program is called Prism and it has its own backup
utility to write data onto DDS-2 media.
I am trying to read the data off the tapes, but have run into
compability problems. I have tried Windows Backup and Backup Exec
programs, but neither could recognize the tape format. I was wondering
if there was a software that might work.
Thanks in advance!
Terry

Hi Terry, just googled this for you, reckon you`ve got to use Prism
software.

If you could DOS copy, to hard drive, you might be able to get control of
it. Anyway read these two sites.
best wishes..OJ.
