Re: /dev/rmt/0m not a valid device file for backup
PHCO_28998 or PHCO_36630 fbackup cumulative
PHKL_34552 SCSI tape driver cumulative
PHKL_27830 or PHKL_34805 JFS patch
Even then, Certance tape drives may present a problem for fbackup. Be sure to check with Quantum (who aquired Certance in 2005) for either firmware updates or possible feature switch settings in the drive for HP-UX support.

Re: /dev/rmt/0m not a valid device file for backup
make sure that ur tape is working before u perfomed the fbackup.
and other thing check below may be it can help.....
'fbackup' behaves slightly different when using remote devices. You
can specify a device on the remote system in the form machine:device.
'fbackup' creates a server process from /usr/sbin/rmt on the remote
system to access the tape device. If /usr/sbin/rmt does not exist on the
remote system, fbackup creates a server process from /etc/rmt on the
remote system to access the tape device. In order for 'fbackup' to
function properly, local systemA must be able to remsh or rlogin to
remote systemB without being prompted for a password.
Note: See the 'fbackup' man page.
Verify these conditions for the local and remote systems:
1. Verify that the name resolution on the local and remote systems
are identical:
Local systemA:
#nslookup
Using /etc/hosts on: machine
> hostname
Using /etc/hosts on: machine
Name: hostname.domain.com <-- name to use for rpc,rhosts,host.equiv
Address: 115.56.23.14
Aliases: machine,aliases <-- don't use aliases
