Best of luck to you.  I was not successful, when in the same situation
(did a volume backup, not by file, right? Who would, when it takes
5 times longer!).  Apparently the drive you restore to must have
*exactly* the same number of formatted blocks as when you backed it
up (anyone with more precise info, please correct me). I tried to
restore to four or five machines here, and all of them had a slightly
different disk size, so it wouldn't copy.

Mac DTS told me the problem had been fixed with Apple Tape Backup 2.01,
but gave me no way to get at my backup created with the prior version.
Since we got our 45 Meg removables, I haven't used that @*#&$ boat
anchor drive.
