AmiBack doesn't require mounting the tape drive. It uses SCSI direct
commands. Image copies are not supported. The programmer didn't think
image copies were a good idea and didn't put it in.

If the demand is there, it could be added.

The demo version on the Fish disk is an early one, before tape drives
were fully supported.

See the ad for Ami-Back in Amazing Computing and .Info for more
information.
