Have you done a successful backup since you changed the tape drive? It may be that the new drive is not set to the same SCSI address as the old one.
You should be able to press <alt><F3> through <alt><f12> to get a new login session.
<alt><f2> will normally switch you to a graphical session that will require <ctrl><alt><f1> to exit from.
Without knowing the script that the backup option on the menu starts, it is difficult to say why it has hung.
Since it is highly unlikely that any programs other than the backup are running it is probably safe to switch to another session and restart the system as root with

Code:

init 6

You should be able to confirm that the tape drive is correctly configured using:

Code:

tape status

The default scsi address for the tape is 2.

tcopy

tcopy(1)							   User Commands							  tcopy(1)

NAME

       tcopy - copy a magnetic tape

SYNOPSIS

       tcopy source [destination]

DESCRIPTION

       The  tcopy  utility copies the magnetic tape mounted on the tape drive specified by the source argument. The only assumption made about the
       contents of a tape is that there are two tape marks at the end.

       When only a source drive is specified, tcopy scans the tape, and displays information about the sizes of records and tape files. If a  des-
       tination  is  specified,  tcopy makes a copies the source tape onto the destination tape, with blocking preserved. As it copies, tcopy pro-
       duces the same output as it does when only scanning a tape.

       The tcopy utility requires the use of Berkeley-compatible device names. For example,

	 example% tcopy /dev/rmt/1b /dev/rmt/2b
