I.E. which files need to be > setup to configure things correctly on the remote machine etc. the arguments that rdump needs depend upon the machine that has the tape drive attached to it. you need to read the DUMP man page on that machine. an example: i rdump from kryten, a FreeBSD 1.1.5.1 machine, to windsurf, a SunOS 4.1.3 machine. the rdump arguments are sunos specific: /sbin/rdump 0dsbfu 54000 13000 126 windsurf:/dev/nrst8 /dev/rsd0a d density 54000 bpi s size, length of tape 13000 feet b blocking factor 126 blocks of 512 bytes f which file|device windsurf:/dev/nrst8 u update the /etc/dumpdates file in order for the above command to work, the /etc/host.equiv file and|or the .rhosts file must be setup correctly. (see the man pages on the machine with the tape drive.) Jonathan M.
