I'm currently using NFS and tar to backup 3 FreeBSD servers on the DAT tape drive of a fourth server. I'd like to switch to dump/rdump, but when I try to issue a dump -f command, it stops after the connection and analysis of the local filesystem with a "protocol to remote tape server botched (code "Broken pipe")" error: local# dump -f remote:/dev/rst0 /var DUMP: Connection to remote established. DUMP: Date of this level 0 dump: Mon Feb 22 14:56:06 1999 DUMP: Date of last level 0 dump: the epoch DUMP: Dumping /dev/rda0s2f (/var) to /dev/rst0 on host remote DUMP: mapping (Pass I) [regular files] DUMP: mapping (Pass II) [directories] DUMP: estimated 13026 tape blocks on 0.33 tape(s). DUMP: Protocol to remote tape server botched (code "Broken pipe"). DUMP: Lost connection to remote host. The local machine is in the root's .rhosts file of the remote machine and rshd isn't commented out in the remote's /etc/inetd.conf. Of course dump works well locally. What am I missing here? --- Stefano Riva Software Engineer - Systems Administrator Informazioni Editoriali I.E.
