Ouch. Well, depending on the state of your NetWorker Setup, you may still
be able to use it to restore.  I seem to recall that NetWorker doesn't
check licenses on restore.  This is just a fuzzy memory however.  Assuming
it does, read on.

True.  I would suggest starting with scanner generating you a table of
contents on whatever tape you have...

scanner /dev/nrst0
scanner: scanning 8mm tape mars.001 on /dev/nrst0
client name save set save time level size files ssid S
space /export 10/07/94 12:38 f 100762460 10035 16983 E
space /usr 10/07/94 13:14 f 27185116 3185 16984 E
space /nsr 10/07/94 12:40 f 77292280 8436 16980 S
space / 10/07/94 13:22 f 1693192 518 16985 S
scanner: reached end of 8mm tape mars.001

This could help narrow your search, as it will show you dates, times,
levels and names of client and savesets, ssid, etc.  Not much sense in
restoring an incremental if a full was done after it, you know?

Now, to get to what you really asked, you can use scanner to get your data
back.  The command would look like this.

Extracting all save sets from client mars and relocating to /a:
scanner -c mars /dev/nrst8 -x uasm -rv -m/=/a

There are other switches you could use if you know saveset ids (from info
above).

Now, if you really need everything off the tape, guess I would try the
above command without narrowing it to the client (drop the -c mars flag).
I've never tried that, don't know if would continously overwrite data or
just how it would work, i.e. if you backed up /usr everday for 60 days and
it was all on that tape, how would it end up?  Thankfully, I've never had
to do it. The -c option for client, -S for save set id, and -N for name of
save sets (or some combo) have always handled it for me.

Command reference is available on the legato website with full scanner
syntax if you need it.  Good luck!
