It works very much like dump does, you just include the remote hostname before the tape device. For example: rdump dumpoptions remotename:remotetapedevicename localfilesystemname To make sure you are networking is configured to do this, login to you local machine as the user that is going to be doing the dumps (usually root). Then type "rsh remotename ls". If you get any errors, such as permission denied, etc., you need to solve that first before you do the rdump. By default, the rsh command will fail. What I normally do is the put the name of the local machine in the /root/.rhosts file on the remote machine. Make sure that the permission of the .rhosts file is 600 and its owned by root (assuming that it how you want to do it). Note that by doing this, you're allowing the local root user to login to the remote machine as root with root privileges. Make sure you can live with that. Their may be safer ways of doing this, but this is the only way I know. Use with caution.
