Has anyone done this? this is my method of daily backups for FreeBSD machines until i get amanda installed on a new 2.0.5 machine. the rdump args have to match those of the remote system, the sun, not the local system. try this: /sbin/rdump 0dsbfu 54000 13000 126 komodo:/dev/nrst8 /dev/rsd0a 2>&1 | tee -a /root/dumplog for each disk partition. (note: that is one line folded by the mailer) restore with blocking factor of 126 also /sbin/restore b 126 <--- add whatever else you need here > > Joseph D.
