Moving the RAID is not a good idea. It weighs about > 20 kg ;) and is connected to a RAID-controllercard... You should be able to easily reverse the ssh pipe direction: # ssh -l root fileserver "restore -options" < /dev/nst0 This way the restore program that tries to intepret the dump data is the same version as the dump that created the backup file. I haven't used a tape in a while, but I can't think of a reason why something like this would fail right now. - Giorgos To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
