The /dev/stand filesystem is mounted on /stand on the root filesystem.
Therefore if you boot into single user mode and then backup, you would automatically take /stand in addition to the root (/) filesystem.
Assuming a tape drive on /dev/rct0 (the default config):
You might also want to use -C and -K switches for block size and media capacity.
To restore in a DR situation..........
Boot from boot&root set (to # prompt) then
mount /dev/hd0root /mnt
cd /mnt
cpio -ivudlm -I /dev/rct0that being the current directory.
Yes, the backup is restored to /mnt
Having mounted /dev/d1250 on a directory you could specify a file, eg
You could then specify a file as the backup destination remembering to use the exclude switch to ensure the cpio does not try to backup the output file itself.

volrmmount
volrmmount(1) User Commands volrmmount(1)NAME
volrmmount - call rmmount to mount or unmount media
SYNOPSIS
volrmmount [-i | -e] [name | nickname]
volrmmount [-d]
DESCRIPTION
The volrmmount utility calls rmmount(1M) to, in effect, simulate an insertion (-i) or an ejection (-e). Simulating an insertion often means
that rmmount will mount the media. Conversely, simulating an ejection often means that rmmount will unmount the media. However, these
actions can vary depending on the rmmount configuration and media type.
For example, using default settings, if you insert a music CD, it might not be mounted. However, you can configure rmmount so that it calls
workman whenever a music CD is inserted.
This command allows you to override volume management's usual handling of media (see EXAMPLES below).
OPTIONS
The following options are supported:
-i Simulates an insertion of the specified media by calling rmmount.
-e Simulates an ejection of the specified media by calling rmmount.
-d Displays the name of the default device for volrmmount to handle. This device is used if no name or nickname is supplied.
OPERANDS
The following operands are supported:
name The name that volume management recognizes as the device's name.
nickname A shortened version of the device's name. Following is the list of recognized nicknames:
+-----------------------------+-----------------------------+
| Nickname | Path |
+-----------------------------+-----------------------------+
|fd |/dev/rdiskette |

EXAMPLES
Example 1 Using the volrmmount command
When volume management finds a floppy that contains a filesystem, it calls rmmount to mount it. If you wish to run tar(1) or cpio(1) on
that floppy, it must first be unmounted. To unmount the floppy use:
example% volrmmount -e floppy0
After volrmmount unmounts the floppy, if you wish to re-mount it (rather than ejecting it and reinserting it) use:
example% volrmmount -i floppy0
Notice that if you are using a named floppy, you can use its name in place of floppy0.
