No example at hand, but here's a general way to do it:

bplist -Listseconds -l -b /my/important/file

This will show the backup time of the last backup of the file [or add -d 
<date>] for specific backups.

Convert the time you see here to epoch seconds [ believe bpdbm can do 
this], and stick this to the client name: client_111223454345

now, run bpimagelist -bid client_111223454345 and there you have the tape.
