The command sits as /bin/mt
If this command dosen't exist, then install it - load the mandrake cd - find
the rpm and install it.
I don't believe that you can mount a tape device - because it is a streaming
device
At the base level, you can read and write to it using dd
eg: dd if=/etc/inittab of=/dev/st0
This will do a raw dump of the file
tar is a better backup tool
eg: tar tvf /dev/st0 /etc/*
will tar the /etc directory into a 'tarball' and dump it on the tape
