I have a SCSI DAT drive (DDS2) in my FreeBSD3.3-STABLE machine that is working great. I can backup my partitions with dump, and all works great. What I want to do is back up a couple of other FreeBSD machines on my local net as well. (one FreeBSD3.2-RELEASE and one FreeBSD2.2.8-STABLE) I'd like to be able to run one script from the machine with the tape drive and have it cycle through the machines, backing them up one at a time. I've looked into Amanda, but it is overkill for what I want to do. My question is what syntax do I use with dump (or do I use rdump?) to back up the other machines? What do I need to do on the other machines to enable them to be backed up? I've tried several things, but it is obvious I'm getting nowhere... Thanks in advance. Mark.
