Problems reading Subsequent files from data tapes

[chimota]

I was able to load the data tapes from the 3940e to the AIX 4.2.1 but the problem is that four files were to be sent across say three tapes. The first fill is so large that it will take up the first two tapes and part of the third. I am having trouble locating the last three files and loading them in. Is there a way to scan the data tapes to see if there are more files and how would I read them in using a dd command. If anyone can think of a command to do this please let me know. Below is how I got the others in:

dd if=(directory and machine) of=text2.txt bs=128k
conv=ascii fskip=0&

If you can help, please respond

If you want to read the subsequent backups from a tape use [tt]tctl[/tt]:

[tt]tctl -f /dev/rmt0.1 rewind[/tt] This rewinds the tape
[tt]tctcl -f /dev/rmt0.1 fsf[/tt] to go to next backup section

... and thus.

I hope it works...
