We re-labled all our LTO tapes in our tape library by mistake.
( It wasnt me! honest!)
None of the tape have been used (for backups) I would expect the data is still on the tapes, now we must restore a system. Is there anyway we can "access" the data on a tape after the existing label has been overwritten.
Here is what happens we we try to scan a tape with lots of data on it:
How can we get back all our data?

Here is what happens we we try to scan a tape with lots of data on it:
Code:
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator>scanner -vvv //./Tape1
scanner: //./Tape1: No such file or directory
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator>scanner -vvv \\.\Tape1
scanner: \\.\Tape1: opened for reading
scanner: \\.\Tape1: rewinding
scanner: Reading the label...
scanner: Reading the label done

How can we get back all our data?
