Command should be

/opt/ignite/bin/make_tape_recovery -Av -d /dev/rmt/0mn

(notice the "n" at the end).

The system should not be so busy - choose a time where the system is mostly idle.

Sorry, should be

/opt/ignite/bin/make_tape_recovery -Av -a /dev/rmt/0mn

or even

/opt/ignite/bin/make_tape_recovery -x inc_entire=vg00 -I -v -a /dev/rmt/0mn

Since you specified "os backup", I assume that you are only backing up vg00, which is not terrible active/dynamic, anyway. Straighten out your syntax as Torsten suggested, then go ahead and back up when it is convenient for you.
