1) Make another ignite backup in case you mess up.
2) You can use tar or pax options to get the one file you want out of the archive. See the man page for those commands.

You first need to skip over the boot records on the tape with mt:

mt -f /dev/rmt/0mn fsf 1

then you can run your tar command.
