It's mentioned in your flexbackup config file, assuming you used flexbackup to create the backup. Otherwise, it's /dev/st0 (SCSI drive) or /dev/nst0 (non-rewinding SCSI drive). If it's on an IDE interface, you'll have to figure out where (/dev/hda, /dev/hdb, /dev/hdc, ...). All of that is for Linux based systems. If you're on something else (FreeBSD, OpenBSD, Solaris, ...), it'll be completely different so you'll have to search their help for information. Type: uname -a to determine what you're running. -- Any technology distinguishable from magic is insufficiently advanced.
