You don't state what version.  Try this http://mirror.contribs.org/smeserver/contribs//dmay/smeserver/5.x/howto/flexbackup-howto.html

# i.e.   home/e-smith/files/ibays/accounts/html/index.html

/bin/mt -f /dev/nst0 rewind
# /bin/mt -f /dev/nst0 fsf 1

# Use above two commands if you arent doing this manually
# and also checking status with '$mt -f /dev/nst0 tell'
# and '$flexbackup -toc'

/usr/bin/flexbackup -extract -num 1 -flist restore_list

# A simple 'ls' used to create a nice formatted list
