It's not something you really want to do, and there are no means provided
in the product to do it directly; but I describe a technique in
http://people.bu.edu/rbs/ADSM.QuickFacts
in the entry "Restore to tape, not disk".
Disk is so cheap and capacious these days that there is seldom need to
try to restore directly to tape: restore to disk, then move a file set out
to tape using an appropriate utility (tar, cpio, etc.).
