Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 06 Lun: 00
Vendor: ARCHIVE Model: Python 04106-XXX Rev: 715G
Type: Sequential-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02

what commace i need to run when i backup files.

To backup the /home directories try:
/sbin/dump -0u -f /dev/st0 /home

It was my experience that FC3 installed without scsi support on a machine with scsi controllers. So you have to make sure you have /dev/st0. If it isn't there you may need to compile a custom kernel.
