As explained in docs/RESTORE:
mt rewind
mt fsf 1 (the first file is just a tape header)
dd if=/dev/tape of=image1 bs=32k skip=1
That will get you the first image off the tape. Repeat the dd for
subsequent images. You can then peruse the images with the appropriate
restore program (using gzip -d as appropriate).
You can also pipe the dd straight into {restore|tar x}.
