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.
