I've always found that "wbak -to" and "rbak -from" would not work with
device files such as /dev/rmts8 because "wbak" would check the file-type
and find that the device file was neither a UASC nor UNSTRUCT file. I always
used "wbak -stdout > /dev/rmts8". Or something like that. In practice, I
actually use the Workstation Solutions tape libraries so that I can put
multiple, labeled files onto a single tape set (ie. "wbak -f 2 //second_disk -dev m")
