by A recent poster (lost the post, sorry) mentioned he needed to recover data from
a tape which had been accidentally 'tar'red over.
I had mentioned I knew of a company which might be able to help. I have decided
to post their address (at least the address they had when I used their
services 1.5 years ago. It might save someone the agony I went through trying to
find them.

I believe they can work with most, if not all, types of tape media. It is not a
cheap service (400-500 pounds/ 8hr.shift) but if you absolutely must have your
tape reconstructed, or data retrieved, it may be worthwhile.
If you have any questions about my experience with them, give me an e-mail
shout.
If you feel that this was an unwarranted use of bandwidth, then flame me...
BUT, I think this was justified.
