Make sure you have the following settings in your kernel, judging by your
output, I'm not sure that you do.

options         ATAPI           #Enable ATAPI support for IDE bus
options         ATAPI_STATIC    #Don't do it as an LKM
device          wst0            #IDE Tape Drive

Rebuild your kernel.

After that, make sure that you have made the appropriate device using
the MAKEDEV script found in /dev. 

After that, you can use tar, dump, (included in base distribution), or
programs such as amanda (in the ports) to do your backups.

Let me know if you need any other assistance.
