Hi All, All I want to be able to do is the following: machine-a> dump tuaf - /usr2 | nc -w 20 machine-b 4000 then on Machine B, machine-b> nc -l -w 20 -p 4000 >/dev/nrst0 And backup Machine A onto Machine B, with as little fuss as possible, i.e. no amanda, no rmt etc... This 'appears' to work, until you try a restore - at which point you get messages such as: machine-b> restore tf /dev/nrst0 Tape block size (1440) is not a multiple of dump block size (1024) machine-b> restore tf /dev/nrst0 Tape block size (1648) is not a multiple of dump block size (1024) etc. Am I right in thinking this is a re-blocking issue? - if so, is there any way to cure it, or a better way of using the default (i.e. standard BSD stuff) to backup a remote machine, without going to the trouble of setting up 'trust' relationships etc. with rmt ? Any help - as usual, gratefully received... Regards, Karl Pielorz To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message
