Any of the volume utility tools might be relevant - bextract, bscan etc.

I'd try to create a suitable sd configuration file with a DVD drive as
the storage device
(never done this, so maybe others on the list can offer more specific
advice):

http://www.bacula.org/3.0.x-manuals/en/install/install/Storage_Daemon_Configuratio.html

and then use bextract to dump the contents of the volume with a command
line like this:

bextract -c sd.conf <DVD storage device name from sd.conf> <target dump
directory>

Note that, according to the manual, bextract doesn't handle encrypted
volumes.

Hope this helps,
Avi.
