What was the server parallelism when the backup was taken, was this the only tape? How many target sessions were written to the tape?
Also, what type of tape is it and what savesets are on it? Which is the one you want back?

Make sure that the 'knows EOD' bit is set in st.conf. If this is not set and you are using tape drives that support fast locates, then the whole tape will be read to locate each file.
