I worked with Legato Networker for many years. As far as I know Legato uses a proprietary method for writing to tape. It does not use any standard utilities like CPIO or TAR. The only suggestion would be to get a trial copy of Legato Networker and install it. It will give you, I believe, 45 days unlimited trial license. To recover data from a tape without the database or indexes you will need to scan and create them from the tape or tapes you are restoring from.
You might be able to get a trial copy from their web site or contact the local sales person for a trial copy. It also would be nice if you knew what version of Networker was used to make the backup. Given a little time I could come up with the commands to restore the indexes. It's been awhile. Hope this helps, Mike DeMuse DeMuse Consulting Inc.
