--执行语句: 

restore   headeronly   from   tapedump1 

在返回的结果集中, 

通过: 

Position              备份集在卷中的位置,通过它来区分每次备份(备份号) 

BackupStartDate       备份操作的开始日期和时间。 

BackupFinishDate     备份操作的完成日期和时间。 

这两个字段,可以确定这是那一次的备份 

然后就在恢复的时候,就可以用类似下面的语句来恢复指定时间做的备份: 

restore   database   pubs 

 from   tapedump1   with   file=N     --n就是上面查询到的备份号

RESTORE HEADERONLY FROM  Tape =  ' \\.\tape0' WITH  NOUNLOAD 

--- this tries to fetch the header information from

 the tape for a specified amount of time.

 Step 4: Obtain the list of files present in the backup set/media.

 RESTORE FILELISTONLY FROM Tape =  ' \\.\tape0'  WITH  NOUNLOAD,  FILE =(file_number)

 Step 5: Perform the actual restore operation.

 RESTORE DATABASE [Database name] FROM  DISK = Tape =  ' \\.\tape0'  

WITH  FILE =(file_number),   NORECOVERY,  NOUNLOAD,  STATS = (percentage)

In GUI this fails for large databases due to the fact that certain operations

 like the below sequence have a built-in timeout of 20 seconds.

Right click on a database >> Tasks >> Restore >> Database >> From Device >> 

Click on button >> Backup Media = TAPE >> Add >> Select Backup tape >> OK >> OK.

The timeout will happen on the "Specify Backup" dialog.

This timeout is to prevent these dialog boxes from hanging forever when 

there is no tape present in the drive.

If you run the "RESTORE HEADERONLY" command from Tsql, you can see that it

 takes several minutes to complete which is much longer than the 20 second timeout for GUI.

To work around the issue, we can need to use T-SQL from Management Studio.

For the restore:

RESTORE DATABASE

FROM TAPE = '\\.\tape0'

WITH

NOREWIND,

NOUNLOAD,

STATS = 1
