I have about 10 tapes each are labeled a month and a year, so I don't think they are multi tape because they span like 3 years 2004-2007 . Although for the current tape I am working on right now if I select 1 skip, I'll get to another back up labeled "incremental backup 1" or something similar. Using the verbosity output here is what I got. (also using interactive restore). I went ahead and specified byte size 4096. Through earlier test using the dd command I determined that was the correct size. Ill post one without byte size specified too. I just saw it in that post and thought it might help.

interactively restore from this dump?
1: skip
2: interactively restore
 (default)
->2
++++================++++
missing some stuff------

^^^ is that your comment, or actual output?

Looks like it eventually encountered a short read:

xfsrestore: drive op: read: wanted 131072 (0x20000)
xfsrestore: tape op: reading 245760 bytes
xfsrestore: tape op read of 245760 bytes short: nread == 4096
xfsrestore: tape op: get status
xfsrestore: tape status = wprot onl
xfsrestore: short read record 1 (nread == 4096)
xfsrestore: drive op read returning error rval=1

in dmesg, is there any sort of IO error from the tape?
