Thanks for the input.

I created a file /tmp/restorelist.txt with the name of the file I want
to restore and am running the "bextract" command at the moment. I hope
the syntax below is correct.

./bextract -i /tmp/restorelist.txt -V 937ABO /dev/nst1 /tmp/bacula-restore/
bextract: match.c:249-0 add_fname_to_include prefix=0 gzip=0
fname=ABC_logs_for_20091215.tgz
bextract: butil.c:282 Using device: "/dev/nst1" for reading.
28-Sep 09:12 bextract JobId 0: Invalid slot=0 defined in catalog for
Volume "937ABO" on "LTO4_2" (/dev/nst1). Manual load my be required.
28-Sep 09:12 bextract JobId 0: 3301 Issuing autochanger "loaded? drive
1" command.
28-Sep 09:12 bextract JobId 0: 3302 Autochanger "loaded? drive 1",
result is Slot 28.
28-Sep 09:12 bextract JobId 0: Ready to read from volume "937ABO" on
device "LTO4_2" (/dev/nst1).

Cheers,
Win
