Restore is done with the sbc command which contains the following information:

sbc -r -l FULL -C <control_host>:11001 -S <storage_host>:11001 -d SMS:<tape_device> -t <tape_name>:<tape_id> -s <saveset_id> -n <segmentnummer> -R / -o overwrite

control_host is always the Sesam server itself

storage_host can be the Sesam server or a Remote Device Server (RDS), where the medium is attached at.
