TSM tape management is one of the best in this domain. From collocation, migration, reclamation, to tape offsiting. No need to know what data is on the tape. Just select the file to restore from the client side amd TSM server will do the rest.

Offsite tape management can be a pain if you are not using the disaster recovery module. Using DRM has a bit of a learning curve but once you get it set up it tells you exactly what tapes to recall and which tapes to ship offsite.
