I don't have an Exabyte on my Apollo, however I do have one on my suns
and do my backups with something like:

	wbak -stdout -all //* | rsh mysun -l backup dd ibs=8k obs=80k of=/dev/exabyte

(where "backup" is the user on the target machine who trusts
Apollo-root and "/dev/exabyte" is the device for the exabyte)

On the Apollo, I would think that:

	wbak -stdout -all //* | dd ibs=8k obs=80k of=/dev/exabyte

would do the trick. (assuming that the SCSI device driver for  the
Exabyte can talk to the "dd" command
