what is the point of a differential tape back up if you can't restore files from that tape?

Generally you do a complete backup followed by incremental backups. The complete backup will take a lot of time to transfer all files to the storage media while the incremental backups will only get what has changed since the last backup. To rebuild a system or locate a file, you start with the full backup and go through the incremental backups to obtain the latest versions of files.

You can't?
Why not?
Never not worked for me.
Remember however what a differential backup is - so not everything is going to be on that backup.
