The best way would be to restore the tape contents onto an HP3000, then
download the files to a PC.
Since your HP has already been scrapped, I suggest buying computer time from
an HP 3000 shop to do this.
If you don't want to do that, you can probably order some documentation on
the backup format from HP.
