   I successfully used wbak and rbak on my Exabyte tape drive this morning.
Never have tried it before. So..... John, I don't work at HP/Apollo but 
here some info on my configuration, maybe some of it will be helpful.

1) Have in /dev: "char rmt_scsi    0  rmts8"
2) Omniback 1.2 installed.
3) Running 10.3 (Aug 22 1990)
4) Installed Patch 0233.
5) ts on wbak: 1990/03/19 9:55:18 CST (Mon)
6) ts on rbak: 1990/02/15 15:53:43 CST (Thu)
7) Have Exabyte EXB-8200 Rev level 251K on SCSI Target 1 in a DEM.
8) DEM attached to DN4500, 16MB, 697MB disk, 60MB Cart tape
9) DEM does have another 697MB disk in it
         
  I used "wbak dirname -dev m0 -f 1 -l -rewind" to tape drive and
"rbak -dev m0 -f 1 -rewind -l" to restore data.  Seems fine.
