If your tape contains many file following each other,
you can move on tape by issuing "mt fsf <number>".
number: how many files you skip. See man mt.
Eg: if you want to restore /usr/users from this tape:
insert DAT into the drive
prompt> /usr/bin/mt rew
prompt> /usr/bin/mt fsf 2
prompt> /sbin/restore xf /dev/nrmt0l
and wait...
