The file on device 'tape' is not a valid Microsoft Tape Format backup set.

When I try to restore a database from a tape backup I receive
"The file on device '%ls' is not a valid Microsoft Tape Format backup set."
I found this article at
http://support.microsoft.com/defaul...kb;en-us;905616 but I have
SQL Server 2005 not 2000.
Indeed I've made a backup with ntbackup but with ...WITH FORMAT,
BLOCKSIZE=65536, NOUNLOAD it doesn't work.
Is it another solution ?
