We have 2 Quantum ATL M1500s with stacklink, using LTO Ultrium
drives/tapes, on a Sun E250/Solaris7
running Legato Networker 6.1.1.

A recent problem with our Legato installation caused us to relabel a
particular tape and we have subsequently written a small amount of data
(about 1gb) to the tape. However, if possible , we would like to recover
what was on the tape BEFORE we relabelled it.

Is it possible at all (maybe using scanner) to recover what was on a
tape before it was relabelled, even if we have done a small amount of
writing to it ?

Thanks,
