A newbie question. I'm trying to bakup the current directory to my MO
device. That device is registered in the system as 

        /dev/sda

and is mounted on 

        /mnt/mo

Neither of the following attempts success in creating a backup.tar.gz file
on my MO drive:

        tar cvzf /dev/sda backup.tar.gz .
        tar cvzf /mnt/mo/backup.tar.gz .

What am I doing wrong? The MO drive is definitely mounted, but all I get is
a backup.tar.gz file in the current directory.
