respek: mark neill tim chipman joel m fisher paul hedgepeth james zhao i asked: " i backup from hosttwo to hostone by piping find into cpio and piping that into rsh hostone "dd ibs=1k obs=64k of=/dev/rmt/0u" but i've been asked to test how we would get data back off a tape and onto hosttwo. can't just install the drive in hosttwo because we have no scsi cards available. thats the obvious bummer. i can get data back off the tape, but i can't pipe it away straight to hosttwo without writing to the disk on hostone (which wouldn't store the data anyway as its about 12gb). " the answer: been barking up the wrong tree, i have. they suggested using ufsdump/ufsrestore which is quite simple really, but something that i've never needed to use in the past. a couple of man pages is all it took really something like: ufsdump 0fu remotehost:/dev/rmt/<target> <directory to backup> make sure /.rhosts on the machine with the tape drive has the name of the machine to backup then ufsrestore -ivfs remotehost:/dev/rmt/<target> 1 to restore. it won't happen exactly like this, cos of individual aspects of the machines and so on, but this is the way forward. ta mark ********************************************************************** This email is intended only for the addressee.
