We have a Pyramid 98x running OSx 4.4. Our problem is that we will
soon be getting rid of it, and that the dump tapes produced by it
are unreadable by any other machines we have (Suns, Multimax). Has
anyone figured out a way to restore dump tapes produced on a Pyramid
on any other machine?
Thanks,

Has anyone figured out a way to restore dump tapes produced on a Pyramid on any other machine? This was the first thing we did when we decided to shut our Pyramid down. I think we just frobbed the Berkeley restore to deal with Pyramid's block size and to handle the conditional symbolic links. dirs.c had a few changes, with most of the difference being in tape.c. The rest of the source modules didn't have to be touched. I guess we can supply diffs if anyone is interested.

I am infering that you two posters have decided to abandon your
Pyramids. Why?

You can get up dumprestore.shar by anonymous FTP from rutgers.edu [128.6.4.7], in their src directory. This has a set of patches that you can apply to the stock 4.3 dump and restore to make them machine-independent.
