Hello All

I am about write a bad mpx tape reader by combining W. Curtis read-tape.sh 
and Netbackup tar. 

I have found that multiplexed tar archives can be read with
/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/tar -tMvb 128 -f /dev/rmt/0cbn
For a block size of 64K

Every time I hit a header I get the following message:
Blocksize = 2 records
Hmm, this doesn't look like a tar archive.
Skipping to next file header...

Does anybody how Netbackup normally read these headers ?

Regards
Michael
