    Yes. This is correct.  In BE 2012, you cannot restore something straight from the media, i.e. the Storage tab.  You got to restore it from the Backup & Restore tab.

    In BE2010-R3 i can go to the tape in the slot, right-click and start a restore .

    Can´t do that in 2012???

    Not from the Storage tab.  You got to take note of the backup sets on the tape.  Start a restore job and then  expand the backup that you are interested in.
