Run "Catelog Media" on the tape you want to restore. That will add it to the selections you can restore from.

Put the media in your drive.
Inventory the drive. This will show the media in the drive.
Catalog the media. This will read the catalog on the media, so BE knows what files are stored on it.
Create your restore job, and the media should appear in the selection list. There may be a date filter by default on your restore selection list, so don't forget to modify that if needed.
