Recover data from "outsider" tape

Hello experts, this is my first post, and I am really new with this software.

Surely my question is stupid, but I can´t find a solution.

I have an HP G2 autoloader, and I need to recover data from a tape of another client (the backup in that tape was made also with another software, but restore gives an error in their system. So I am trying to recover using this autoloader)

Bottomline: I need to know if I can do what I want to, and if I can, I want to know how the procedure replace temporarely the cleaning tape for this

Thank you!

If the "other" software used basic MTF for how it writes to tape then Backup Exec 'might' be able to restore - however the only software that I know used MTF was NT backup and that has been obsolete/discontinued against tape usage for a long time now.

 

Any other format or any complexity over the top of standard MTF will almost certainly mean Backup Exec cannot read it at all.
