If tape is your chosen media then you could do a backup set of the data. 
Backup sets are readable to anyone with a matching tape drive to your media and
are not encrypted and don't require access to the original TSM DB.

TSM is not a good choice for this.

Your best bet is to burn the files to a CD or DVD, or us tar to build a tape
OUTSIDE of TSM. And even then, if there is any binary data and the two systems
are different platforms the results will be unpredictable (but usually not
good).
