I'm looking at a bunch of tapes here that date from around 1990-93, so pre-Win95. They're DOS images, but they're not quite familiar to my eye.
The interesting thing is that they start out with 64 x 512-byte blocks, all identical that look like this:
...then a tapemark, then the backup data.
The "CMS" would seem to point at a version of Colorado Backup for DOS, but I don't find any version that will accept this format. Does this look familiar to anyone? Any ideas? I really don't want to write my own restore code for this if I don't have to.
