With tapes you'd better get the data off the media and to a disk.
First off, clean the tape heads!
- try a straight forward copy: this may fail for several reasons depending on what tape
you have.
- use backup to perform the copy
?$ backup mua0:*.* ?dua4:[savesets]/log
Should that fail, try to mount the tape foreign and use copy. If VMS complains then SET
RMS may be useful.
Good luck

Note the trailing "." in the logical - don't omit that! Also notice that
you must use a physical device name in the logical definition.
Thanks.
Next problem, there is a read error on the tape, how do I tell backup
to give up and continue with the rest of the save set, if possible?
