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?

Your other option is to use scanner + uasm to recover --- if it's a standard filesystem backup (i.e., not so useful for database backups, system savesets, etc.)

I've got an example article covering this on my blog:
