is it safe to mount a TAPE DRIVE? aren't those serial devices? what I know
is, you just do
tar cvf /dev/st0 /directory/to/backup
in order to do a backup.. tar at least knows how to write to a tape drive
and can even span tapes. although you really should get BRU or Arkeia
Backup for any serious work.
