To use the restore command (dump/restore) with a dump file on a remote machine, the man restore tells you can use the syntax restore -rf user@host:file, this uses rcmd(3) If from the target machine (on same subnet as remotemachine), logged in as root, I enter targetmachine# cd /home/testrestore targetmachine# tar -rf root@ IP_of_remote_machine:/home/file.dmp I get IP_of_remote_machine: Connection refused login to IP_of_remote_machine as root failed There needs some more setup for this in order to work, (hosts.equiv, .rhosts or something ??). How exactly ? (I just need this for the restore, certainly not to be a permanent way of transferring files) <root@%20machine.domain:/dir1/dir2/file.dmp>
