Allegro may have something smart, otherwise I think you need to restore 
the files from the tape and then store them to disc, as the resulting 
disc file needs to build a header of the files it contains (I think)

So after restore, the store to disc is something like


!SETVAR BACKUP_FILE "nameoffileyouwantocreate"
!FILE BK=!BACKUP_FILE;DEV=DISC
!FILE SYSLIST=!BACKUP_FILE;DEV=LP
!STORE fileselectionstring;*BK;SHOW;PROGRESS=5
