Do Jim and I have all of these?  I think perhaps not?

Try ARCHIVE_RESTORE.  BRMS had a couple of different tools and tape
format variations.  These seem to have been written with ARCHIVE instead
of BACKUP.

I have an ARCHIVE tape that doesn't restore correctly -- I get the heads
of the files, but not the tails.  Not sure if it's because the restore
is hosed, or if the save was incomplete.  BRMS was a heap of fertilizer,
and everyone knew it.  I regret using it to save some things back then.
