In regard to: [Networker] Labelled write protected tape, Jonathan Natividad...:
A colleage accidentally labelled a physically write protected tape which
I have loaded for a restore.
That's not possible. NetWorker would have given you an error message if
the label had failed. The label could NOT have succeeded if the tape
was physically write protected.
Part of your data has been destroyed. There's likely a lot more that's
still on the tape, but you won't be able to get at it (short of some
clever tricks that might just make things worse) using the tape drives
you have. You'll need to get a data recovery service involved if you
really do need that data.
