What is the command for that? This is what I was trying to point out in my original post in this thread. When you have two hosts, A and B, and you want to backup the data of host A on the tape drive of host B, you should always use: mt/st of host B dump/restore of host A Backup: Use dump of host A to backup a filesystem, and pipe the data to the tape of host B. host-b# ssh host-a "dump -options" | dd bs=blocksize of=/tape Restore: Use the restore of host A, and pipe in it's input data that is read from the tape of host B. host-b# dd bs=blocksize if=/tape | ssh host-a "restore -options" - Giorgos To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
