The backup server runs Win95 most of the time, so it must be rebooted to FreeBSD to work.

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...
