You can also perform a find through the GUI, all you need to know is the file 
name.  If you need to know the tape it is on you can perform a restore, you 
should be able to see what tape is, or needs to be, mounted.

What you need to do is to launch the Backup-Archive GUI interface (dsm)
and from there select "Show Active and Inactive Files."  From there you
will need to scroll through all the files backed up for that specific
node.  Hopefully your user knows in what general area that file was
backed up in.

I need to find a specific file on tape, and the user does not know where
the file was, nor when it disappeared - so basically I have to look at
all
the backups on a specific node to find its prior location. Anyone know
how
to do this?

Thanks -
