Unerase a Quick Erase
I mistakenly ran a quick erase under Backup Exec v 12.5 (Rev 2213). Is there any way to recover (unerase) these tapes?
Any help appreciated.

- Unfortunately there is no way to recover the tapes as the quick erase deletes everything from the media
Not correct
A LONG erase deletes every thing on the media (Actually it overwrites it with random bits)
A QUICK erase re-writes the header
But you still cannot retrieve anything from such a tape using standard access (BackupExec or NTBackup)
A Data Recovery service may be able to get the data back, tho -
