restore to a different hard drive or use a different tape drive?  i've tried 
the different tape drive with the same results, pretty sure restoring to a 
different hard disk would not make much difference ........ are there any 
utilities that read the tape directly?  i've seen some people recommending 
cloning the suspect saveset and trying to restore from the clone but no one has 
ever posted a response that the clone trick works?
