Hello world, we have the following problem: We've a VAXStation3100 and some DECStations3100 (running under Ultrix V3.1/ UWS2.1) and want to hold a copy of some drive partitions of the VAX on a DECStation drive. We need this because the SCSI bus of the VAX is already populated to its limit. We tried to do this with: dump 0uf - filesystem | rsh dec "(cd /backup ; restore xf - )" This resulted in an 'open("/dev/tty"): no such device or address" error. The same problem exists, if we tried to run dump,restore from a batch job that is started by cron. Has anybody experiences with this problem, maybe some solutions ?
