Yes you can do this, but if you have a number of tapes that make up the
backupset you need to know the order that they were written in, so you can
define them in the same sequence in the volume names parameter.
If you have the web gui its quite straightforward to define the backupset to
your new system

Without the database or the original system, what you've got is a tape
full of random strings of 0s and 1s. Sorry.

Mark,
It looks from reading the manal, that if this backup was created using the
"BACKUPSET" procedure
then I could restore on a completely different server, without the original
databases.
Is that true????
