Just a general question to see if any one else has ran into this
problem.

We are running a 3494 library with 8 3590 tape drives. We are also
running Adsm on an AIX system (4.1.5).  Heres my problem....one of our
tapes has a blown label. I do not know of any utility or commands that
will allow me to do a tape-to-tape copy from the bad tape to a scratch
that I can re-label as the the bad tape.

There is a dsp utility on MVS, which allows me to copy from tape to tape
(This is under a Jes3 system *X TT). Does anyone know of anything on
AIX.

I have tried to do a copy from tape drive to tape drive, treating it as
a file system. ex  cp /dev/rmt3 /dev/rmt4 .  With the blown label, it
will not allow me to do this. I also have tried the unix  dd  command  .
ex. dd -if=/dev/rmt3 of=/dev/rmt4 skip=     . This also does not work.
so, to restate my question, is there any way to recover a blown label on
a 3590 tape.
