+
+At restore time, you may need to use the /dev/nst0 device instead of the classical /dev/st0 device name so that your tape is handle correctly.
+
+Also you may need to change VT (ALT+F2 e.g.) in order to modify the way the tape drive is working (changing mode from OBDR - USB CD boot emulation to tape mode) by passing the command similar to:
+{{{
+echo "scsi remove-single-device 1 0 3 0" > /proc/scsi/scsi
+# reset tape (power cycle)
+echo "scsi add-single-device 1 0 3 0" > /proc/scsi/scsi
+}}}
