Thanks Mikkel.
Now, for example, if i needed to back up the entire contents of
/volume_one/oracle, what would be the command line that I would enter?
I am pretty new to this and really appreciate the help.
Thanks again

You don't mount tapes. You normaly use tar (Tape ARcive), or on of the
other tape backup programs to read/write tapes. You use mt to control the
tape drive. You will probably use /dev/st0 and /dev/nst0 as the file name
when talking to the tape drive. (st will rewind after you are done
reading/writting, nst will not.)
