Adding a Backup Device

Use sp_addumpdevice to add a backup device.

To use an existing logical device name for a different physical device, drop the device with sp_dropdevice and then add it with sp_addumpdevice. For example:
sp_dropdevice tapedump2
sp_addumpdevice "tape", tapedump2, "/dev/nrmt8", 625
