I tried that. It's a huge hulking mess that did not fit well with our
patchy backup logic. The backup server runs Win95 most of the time, so it
must be rebooted to FreeBSD to work. And it took us forever to convice
the systems to talk to one another -- I don't want to break something
that's finally working :)

If you _do_ a man st, you'll find the following in the FILES section:
/dev/rst0.0 Mode 0, rewind on close
/dev/nrst0.2 Mode 2, No rewind on close
/dev/erst0.3 Mode 3, Eject on close (if capable)
So I think we need to look to a different avenue here...
