This is the device the backup is written to. It can be any
tape device with the capability to distinguish between several
files on the media. It is mandatory to supply the no-rewind
device here, otherwise this package won't work properly.
Suitable device names for some OS-es:
AIX: /dev/rmt0.1
Solaris: /dev/rmt/0bn
IRIX: /dev/rmt/tps0d4nr
HP-UX: /dev/rmt/0hn
Linux: /dev/nst0
Digital UNIX: /dev/nrmt0h
If the drive has a media handler attached, a specifier for this
may follow the device name. The format for this is
=<drive-count>@<device>#<num-slots>^<num-loadbays>
, for example
=1@/dev/sg0#6^2 . Whitespace before and following the special
characters = @ and # is allowed for readability. The example
means: The drive is number 1 in the changer, /dev/sg0 is the
changer device, that has 6 media slots and 2 loadbays. The
parts =<drive-count> and ^<num-loadbays> are optional
