I want to install a backup device on one of our servers. I am not familiar with the technicalities involved.

If you've already bought your "backup device" then check the manual (or call the guy who sold you it).

If you've not bought this device yet, then this would be one of your good questions to the sales people while you're in the process of selecting type of device and vendor.

What type of server (e.g. IBM Mainframe, Sun Solaris, Windows)

and possibly, what 'backup device':

(e.g. DVD-ROM drive, floppy disk drive, 8mm tape drive, etc)

Type of server that you have and the Backup Device that you want to fit.

The User Manuals are always a good starting point but you need to buy something that suits your Server. For Instance a SCSI DAT Drive will not suit a server without a existing SCSI Interface. ;)
