Hello Doug, I want to thank you for the suggestion and report back on my successes. Apparently it did want the f option as it would not work when I removed it. Here is the script command that worked: /sbin/rdump 0cfua slugo:/dev/rmt0.1 /dev/sd0a # / Now is it correct that I could replace ``/dev/sd0a'' with the ``/'' (the real mount point of the partition) and it will still work? Thanks again and Happy New Year! ___________________________________________________________________ Mark L.

Oh OK. Gee that's what I love about Unix. All commands use dashes except one. gotta love it. :-P In addiiton, the f and s options are out of date.
