I need to restore some 10+ year old data (Lets just say I was still in school when this backup was made). I don't know what type of drive the backup was made on, or with what software. The tape is a DC 2120 QICC 80 mini data cartridge - I have a 2000 machine here with an iomega ditto 800 and a hp Colorado T3000 which isn't in a machine at the moment. The 2000 machine doesn't appear to be recognising the iomega tape drive, and I can't find drivers online. Is there any way I'm going to be able to get at this data? I don't have access to a pre-2000 machine unless I format one and put 95 or 98 on, which, needless to say, I'd like to avoid. A chap who was working here back in the early 90's when the tape was made says he 'thinks' they used an iomega backup.

I don't know if his memory is related to the fact that he's looking at an iomega drive, though! Hi If you need it bad, just ask experts who do just this. There are plenty of data recover specialists, use google to find one near you. Not knowing the format should not be a problem, they wikll have tools to try and figure that out. That;'s what they do for a living:-) Your cart is a DC-2120 QIC-80, so you can just buy a compliant drive, eg from ebay. For example As for drivers, there I think you will struggle. Using win95/8/me seems the best bet.

I found but you'll need to connect the drive (assuming you have a drive) to the floppy cable. And (for WinMe) K. Getting same message as top poster in link Pitoren posted when I try to run tapecat.exe.

Can't find the CBII v8.0 software offered as a resolution. If the machine picks up the tape, it shows up conflicting with motherboard resources. There is a constant error on secondary ide controller telling me that the device is not presetn, not working properly or does not have the proper drivers installed. Trying to upgrade the drivers tells me the best ones are already there. This computer is driving me slowly but surely insane!:) I've found various versions of colorado backup software on driverguide.com, but none of them recognise the tape drive. I found it under the stairs, where all the good pcs go to die:) Ah no, as 98 pcs go, its not a bad one, it has a pIII and 512mb RAM, sure it'd nearly run XP;) On disconnecting the tape drive, the messages remained (other than the tape drive conflicting with the motherboard), so I can safely ignore them. That Colorado backup software (duh, how did I not spot that) makes no difference, still won't see the drive.

I think I might take a leaf out of your book, go home, and forget about it for the weekend:). I know this is a 10-years old post but may still be searched and found by other people; Problem with tape drives and software (mostly under DOS) is that they use some MB/CPU based timing and they won't work on later machines (after 486) unless you manage to slow them down as much as you can; for example I managed to have a DC-2120 floppy tape to work only after disabling CPU's cache and shadow in BIOS which is probably why your drive wasn't recognized. Good luck to those who are trying to recover old stories from our tape from 20 years ago;).
