help with mysqlhotcopy

[Richard Reina]

I was wondering if someone could help me out with the syntax to use 
mysqlhotcopy to backup a database to a tape drive ( /dev/nst0 ).  I've 
tried a few variations of the command but with no luck so far.   The 
mysql server is running on RH 7.2 and the DAT tape drive is on that same 
machine.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
