The man page says // you should be able to do "tar -cvf otherhost:/dev/rst0 local.files". // But this just hangs. Does anyone use tar to do backups to a // remote device? I do, and it works fine. You must have rsh .rhosts permission enabled, on the remote host, of course... // // Thanks, // // -- // Craig Shaver (craig@progroup.com) (415)390-0654 // Productivity Group POB 60458 Sunnyvale, CA 94088 // Jonny -- Joao Carlos Mendes Luis jonny@gta.ufrj.br +55 21 290-4698 ( Job ) jonny@cisi.coppe.ufrj.br Network Manager UFRJ/COPPE/CISI Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro
