We had a drive fail and the backup script tried to back it up anyway. now
the tape is inaccessable
mt status:
mt_erreg 0x3 Nonrecoverable medium error.
ASC/ASQ = 14/3 End of data not found

restore -ib 64:
[a long wait]
Tape read error while trying to set up tape
continue? [yn] y
Tape is not a dump tape

Tru64 v4.0f, the tape consists of 4 rdumps followed by 3 dumps. Is there
anyway to get the data off this tape? Did attempting to rdump from a failed
device cause the tape to fail? or was it something else?
