Help with TAR

Hi,
I tarred some files off to a tape. I'm trying to restore them now.
Am I missing a step?

1) I rewind the tape.
2) I did a tar -tvf and saw the file on the tape.
3) I do a tar -xvf <file_name> that was shown from the tar -tvf

Is this all I need to do to restore the file? Just trying to make sure I have the command right before issuing it, the file is very very large.

Thanks!
