----- Original Message ----- From: "Gregory Bond" <gnb@itga.com.au> To: "Shawn Barnhart" <swb@grasslake.net> | > dumphost# dump foo:/file/system /dev/nrsa0 | | No it works the other way - rdump dumps local filesystems to remote tapes. | You need | foo# rdump /file/system dumphost:/dev/nrsa0 | and foo must be in dumphost's ~root/.rhosts file. Thanks, although that's less useful than I thought it might be. How might you know that the tape drive isn't being used locally? Why was it implemented that way? Does this date back from the days of starch-shirted PFYs doing the backup interactively? It seems like it'd be simpler to have dumphost grab the other host's filesystem remotely.
