restore data from expired tape

I need to restore a file from a tape that was used 6 months ago.  The retention period is only for one month. Is there a way I can see what is on this tape so I can restore a file?   thanks,...

    Move the physical write protect tab across on the tabe (best practice if you need to restore to avoid accidental overwrite)

    Then put the tape back in the drive/library and inventory and catalog it
