Hello,
no, that's not possible from tape.

Depending on the number of files (less than 1 million files) and performance requirements you could try "file to tape" jobs. They allow single file restores. But I do not recommend it!

I recommend to choose a retention which allows you to restore from disk in 95% of your use cases.

Best regards,
Hannes
