AFAIK the Backpack 800TD is supported by ftape-4.x (The ftape that
comes with kernel is still version 3). Check

http://www.LinuxTapeCert.org/techhelp.html

for a step by step installation instruction.

You can also visit the ftape homepage, but note that you need the
"unstable" version as the 4.02 and 4.03pre* doesn't compile with
2.2.xx or later. The URL is:
