Re: Tape Drive
1. To backup file / Create a new archive to tape
#tar -cfv /dev/rmt/xm /filepath
or
#tar cfv /dev/rmt/xm /filepath
2.To check the List the names of all the files in the archive

#tar -tvf /dev/rmt/xm
To extract the file from the archive and restore it to the system

Re: Tape Drive
The tape drive connected at 0/6/1/0.3.0 does not have a name, try running:
# insf -eC tape
then,
#ioscan -fnC disk
So that we can have a name for the HP tape drive like /dev/rmt/0mn.
Now, there are different commands to take different types of backup.
First you must mention what do you wish to back up....like operating system or data.
For OS backup we can go with "ignite backup" and for data backup we can go with "fbackup".
For OS, take IGNITE backup:
#make_tape_recovery -x inc_entire=vg00 -a /dev/tape_device_name
For data backup we can use "fbackup", see man pages for the useful options.
Hope this helps..
Regds,
R.K.
