Original Question

-----------------
I have taken several save sets of backup using vdump command on the
same tape media.
Suppose that I don't know how many save sets are there on the tape.!
Is there a way to forward the tape to the last save set directly and
start the backup without checking the save sets one by one?
Thanks in advance.
Best Regards
