         You might also want to use the following options:

                 --with-tape-server=server-name.domain.com
                 --with-tape-device=/dev/rmt/0m (or whatever the tape 
devices is)

         I think that will work, although, I have not tried it. I have a 
separate
configuration for each of the machines I backup.
