tape drive

Hi,
I need to restore my tape backup, when I type "tape status" it gives;
status : ready beginning-of-tape write-protected
soft errors : 0
hard errors : 0
underruns : 3

but I do not know which type of backup files in my tape (cpio or tar) also I do not know device name like /dev/rStp0 or xStp0

how can I find it ?
thanks
Alice..
