Error Restore from HP Tape Drive

Here is the scenario. We have an billing system that ran on SCO 5.0.6. The HP Netserver went dwon, along with SCSI disks. They are unretrievable. I installed an IDE HDD, and reinstalled SCO. I am not too familiar w/ SCO or UNIX, and need to know how to install Tape drive, and how to restore from tape drive. I have tried mkdev tape to install, but I am having some difficulties. I am assuming, once drive is installed and working, I will then run tar tvf /dev/rct0 | page to view contents of tape, then tar xvf /dev/rct0 to restore all data and overwrite current SCO installation. Please advise. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks. - Jon
