Archive Tape Recovery Utility

The Archive Tape Recovery Utility is intended to perform the function of recovering CADisk archive tapes which have been damaged or partially overwritten. It will read a single archive tape as input and bypass I/O errors and optionally skip parameters to retrieve any archive data blocks which are still intact.

Each complete data set encountered will then be transferred to a new archive tape volume. This tape volume can then be used by the REBUILD utility to identify it to the files data set. The Archive Tape Recovery Utility is designed to recover only archive tapes. It does not use disk sets as input or output.
