Hi,

Does anyone know if there are more in-depth commands for checking 
contents on Tapes?

All I know is DIRTAPE, but some Tapes I have that are should be full 
aren't showing anything! One of them says "0 Files Found" and the 
others are showing "Unexpected Tape error 3".

The MRX600A tapes I've had for sometime are fine, so the Streamer 
should be ok! Should I give it a clean? Any tips?

SCHECK doesn't work with Tapes unfortunately!

Cheers,
Peter

Follow up - Just trying RESTORE command:

1st tape says is blank and the other 3 "Unable to read Tape Header", 
respectively (see below). Does this sound like the contents of the 
last 3 tapes are unretreivable?

Thanks,
Peter
