To go along with the activity log info Andy has given, if you watch the mount activity messages in the log when the restore is kicked off it should give you a clue as to what tape it is on too. Especially if nothing else if going on that will force you to sift through other mount messages.

That will help narrow things for you. Having said that, I have to ask: why is it important to know the tape that the file on? The reason I ask is that all we know from what you've told us is that a file was not restored. Before I worried about what tape it was on, I'd want to know a whole slew of things... such as, do you know that it was *supposed* to be restored? If so, how do you know this? Have you tried restoring just this specific file? If not, try it and see what happens. If you have tried, what did you see? If you got a failure, did you check the server actlog to see what it had to say about the problem? If there is a problem with a tape, it might have provided that info in any diagnostic messages that were issued.
