My backup tape has been corrupted. I used tar command to write the files into the tape. Is there any other command other than tar, or cpio I can use to copy a whole compressed tar file from the tape to my hard drive?
Try dd(1). However, if the tape is corrupted, then I doubt that you'll have any better success with it.
