I have been able to install the Tape drive. However, l wish to give the clue to the installation.

  1. type modprobe st

  2. type cat /proc/scsi/scsi to verify that the tape drive is detected.

  3. mt -f /dev/st0 status to check the status of the tape drive

  4. vi /etc/rc.local to insert the following lines

  5. touch /var/lock/subsys/local

  6. modprobe mptscsih

  7. modprobe st

you can now take either a level 0 or 9 backup. You can also you the tar command to do you files backup.

Thanks
