Here is what I use on stinit.def for a Seageta DAT72 unit, in case you need it:

{ mode1 blocksize=512 compression=1 mode2 blocksize=1024 compression=1 mode3 blocksize=512 compression=0 mode4 blocksize = 1024 compression=0 }

Pretty simples and direct.

I would use dump and restore to backup the system, it creates an image on the tape of the partitions

I would guess the tape device is /dev/nst0

mt -f /dev/nst0 status dump -0uf /dev/nst0 /dev/sda1
