Backup question

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.general (More info?)

I got a used DAT tape drive, with 2 tapes, from a friend. I backed up my
files and it asked for a 3rd tape. I canceled the job and decided I do a
more "selective" backup later. Well, now I need to restore something from
that backup. My ".pab" file. When I try to catalog the tapes it asks for a
3rd tape, which was never used.

My question is: is there any way to restore files from the tape set, even
though the job was canceled before it finished?

Thanks

That doesn't really relate to my restore problem. But thanks.
