I haven't had much experience with Backup Exec, but it appears to be able to do far more that I'll ever need. All I want to do is restore a file from a tape. I have the tape in the drive, and when I go to restore, it wants me to select from dozens of different media created on different dates at different times. Hell, I don't know when the media was created! I guess it was created when I stuck the blank tape in the drive and did a backup. I just want to restore from the dang tape in the drive. Is there a secret check box? If I could browse what's on the tape, I could select the file I need. Surely someone else has wanted to do just this simple thing....Or is this going to require a day long training session and extensive study of the manual? Sorry...I'm just exasperated...this seems like it should be a simple thing.
