The dump syntax for accessing remote tape drives is "host:file". It should work to a real Unix box. I'm not sure about Linux. However, the rmt protocols used by dump aren't very efficient. You're better off using ssh or similar, and just piping the data around. Use dd on the remote end to deal with blocking: dump 0uf / | rsh taped-system dd of=/dev/magtape obs=1m > 3) If 2&3 are both true is this accomplished via nfs? Nope. <mike *) Ok, some tape drives are block-seekable and can have file systems put on them. But that's a different question. -- Mike Meyer <mwm@mired.org> http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.
