What is the easiest way to back up my entire computer to a scsi tape drive at /dev/st0?

Read the man pages for cpio and tar. Both should work for Unix compatible systems. Otherwise, use a third party backup utility.

You can use dump to dump the entire filesystem (partition)
/sbin/dump -0u -f /dev/st0 /usr/src
Do a df to see what your filesystems are mounted on as far as slices go. The above would dump the entire /usr/src slice to /dev/st0 tape.
