/dev/rmt/* are the actual devices. /dev/rmt/0 would be the first tape drive, /dev/rmt/1 would be the second etc. The letters mean different things like "n" = no rewind. # mt -f /dev/rmt/0 status should give you the status of the first tape drive
To read the contents of a tape (if in tar format) # tar tvf /dev/rmt/0
To write to tape # tar cvf /dev/rmt/0 /dir/to/backup
To extract the contents of the tape # tar xvf /dev/rmt/0
