It's mentioned in your flexbackup config file, assuming you used
flexbackup to create the backup.  Otherwise, it's /dev/st0 (SCSI
drive) or /dev/nst0 (non-rewinding SCSI drive).  If it's on an IDE
interface, you'll have to figure out where (/dev/hda, /dev/hdb,
/dev/hdc, ...).  All of that is for Linux based systems.  If you're on
something else (FreeBSD, OpenBSD, Solaris, ...), it'll be completely
different so you'll have to search their help for information.  Type:

   uname -a

to determine what you're running.
