   That might not work for BACKUP on tape.  And in gerneral I've found
   tape support from MS to be nill, you generally have to buy some
   product to manipulate tapes.

   If the OP had a VMS system, I'd recommend TCOPY.  If the OP
   knew the tape was made /exchange, any little toy, such as cygwin
   dd, could copy it.

   There is a vmsbackup.c running around on the 'net, but I don't know
   how up to date it is.
