The best way from the command line would be to use tar. Try something like
"tar cvfz <filename or directory> /dev/rmt0". This should put the files on
tape with gzip compression.
I've never done this before with a tape drive, so best of luck to you. I'm
sure that someone in this LUG knows tar better than I do also :).
