The specified name-string gives the system file name of the storage device managed by this storage daemon. This will usually be the device file name of a removable storage device (tape drive), for example /dev/nst0 or /dev/rmt/0mbn. For a DVD-writer, it will be for example /dev/hdc. It may also be a directory name if you are archiving to disk storage. In this case, you must supply the full absolute path to the directory. When specifying a tape device, it is preferable that the "non-rewind" variant of the device file name be given.
