You can query contents, but that is not particularly useful.  Why do you
want to know what is on the tapes?  TSM knows so you don't need to know.  If
you want to see what a client has backed up, go the client and use the
baclient interfaces to look at the files.  The server certainly knows what's
on the tapes and where a client's backups are, but it isn't easy to see it
from there.  It is, however, easy to see stuff from the client.

TSM is designed to work this way.  In this way, it is very different from
other backup tools.
