[NCLUG] Tape extraction help needed.

I have some tapes containing data grouped into header and
image files.  Using dd, I can get the header file, but it
then terminates, and the remainder of the data (~130MB) is
ignored.  Am I doing something worng?

>dd if=/dev/st0 of=tape2 bs=16k
0+1 records in
0+1 records out

Does anyone know of another utility to simply dump data
from a tape to a file?  (cpio is doing the same as dd right
now).

Thanks-
Erich
