Not So Simple Backup to LTO tape?

Asked by Brian Standing

Any way to set the destination to a LTO-2 tape drive? I can navigate to /dev/st0, but can't select it.

I'm using Ubuntu 10.04, a Quantum/Certance LTO2 drive on an Adaptec AHC-2940 SCSI card.

Any help?

Hi Brian,
I've got no experience with tape drives. Can you mount the drive to a specific mount point (/media/...) and use this?
