I was told (by the person who made the dumps originally) that there was
something like a full pallet of tapes to be read.

What I found on the net was, well, maybe 3-4 tapes worth.  It looked
more like a partial snap shot of what was on those machines at one
point in time (i.e. one day).  But not everything.

I think these backup tapes span a large amount of time, like serveral years.

Does that sounds more plausible?
