Sure: `bls` to list the tape contents and `bextract` to fetch something
for test.

Note that `bextract` is *very* slow unless you feed it with a
bootstrap file generated by your backup job (assuming the tape has many
jobs).

`bls` is also slow--on my LTO-4 drive connected via fiber channel to
the host, its full run through one tape (with quite many jobs and very
large number of (small) files) it takes more than 2 hours to complete,
so be prepared.
