Backup and restore files using TAR in Linux

This section describes how to perform a simple backup and recovery of files to an HP StoreOnce
Backup System using the console applications; MTX and TAR. In the examples, the autoloader
robotics is controlled using generic SCSI device file sg2 and the autoloader tape drive uses tape
device file st0. The file to be backed up and restored is the Linux kernel.
