The only way I know to read from an LTO tape drive is with big, heavy tools like Backup Exec.
I am looking for a light weight or free tool that can read files from an LTO tape drive attached to a Windows server. Preferably the tool would let me inventory the backup sessions on a tape and choose one or more files to read from the tape to disk. If the backup is encrypted, (hardware encryption in the tape drive), I would need to be able to enter the crypto key.
