You need to download and install the 3480/3490 tape drivers (SuSE 7.0 didn't include them), then install the amanda package that is on the SuSE CDs. You need to make the tape drive available to the Linux system, bounce the Linux system to let it detect the tape drive and load the drives, then use amdump to dump the files.
