So while ansitape will let you read >the backup image off the tape, this doesn't acheive what you want (which is to >read the files out of the backup image). True.

It can't deal with some of the newer VMS Backup stuff, so if it was written in the last 5 years or so, it better have been written in /INTERCHANGE format.
