What was the source of the data?

Possible, maybe.  But the way to do this is not well-documented
anywhere.

If the source data was from a netapp, then then the datastream is
decodable via ufsrestore on solaris.  The Netapp site has a KB for this:
1010683

The problem is that the file on tape is encapsulated with some NBU
format information.  So you would have to position the tape past the NBU
information to the beginning of the Netapp data stream.  I've had the
details for that in the past, but I can't seem to find them at the
moment.  

If your source NDMP host was something other than a netapp, then
ufsrestore has no guarantee of working.  It may be some other format.
