One tape, using the Apple utility, shows a backup dated Jan 1 1904, and the backup has no files in it. When I press the 'previous backups' button, I get a dialog indicating that there isn't enough memory to complete the operation. The question is this: Are there any utilities like Symantec, ResEd, or PCtools that will read tape volumes? + Organization: City University of New York/ University Computer Center -- EXSGC - via FidoNet node 1:105/14 UUCP: ...!{uunet!glacier, ..reed.bitnet}!busker!226!20!EXSGC INTERNET: EXSGC@f20.n226.z1.FIDONET.ORG
