Jim:
Not to my knowledge.  The tape header on a NetBackup 
tape maintains a "tar-compatible" header, but still has 
all of the Media Header info and Backup header info 
specific to NetBackup.  


Page 617 of the NBAG-Media Format and page 599-Reading 
Backup Images with tar, I think may indirectly answer 
your question.
