Sometimes remembering the way to access your tape drive in linux aint that easy, follow this basic guide which has almost all the neccesary commands you might execute on your tape drive.
As I said, this is a very basic guide with pretty much most if not all commands you will probably execute in your tape drive on a linux environment. Enjoy
Check if tapedrive is online:
mt -f /dev/st0 status
Erase tapedrive:
mt -f /dev/st0 erase
Copy some content to a tapedrive:
tar cvf /dev/st0 /content_path/content.archive
List files on a tape:
tar tvf /dev/st0
Restore from the tape:
tar xvf /dev/st0
Restore an specific archive
tar xvf /dev/st0 /folder/archive.dmp
As I always say, hope this was usefull.
