As I've seen lot of people asking how to run w/rbak on 8mm, here
it is:
	wbak -stdout ... | dd of=/dev/rmts8 obs=8k
	dd if=/dev/rmts8 bs=8k | rbak -stdin ...
This has worked fine for us. You need sr10.2 and NO Omniback.
Just the standard system.
Also, you can buy any 3rd party Exabyte and plug it on the Apollo.
All Exabyte are exactly the same, the only thing that changes
from one to another is the box and the power supply. The 
mechanics and the internal SCSI controller are manufactured always
by Exabyte.

Hope this helps,
