[lug] Device drivers: tape backup

[Hugh Brown]

Most just use the kernel modules (st, ftape, ...).

I use a program called mtx that takes care of the tape loading for a multiple tape magazine on our tape drive.

You might try doing a search on google with linux PowerVault 100T DDS4  and see what you get back.
