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 ?
Regards,
Wolfgang Barth

Or try dump 0uf - filesystem | rsh -n dec "(cd /backup ; restore xf - )" ^^ Note the -n for rsh. rsh will try to read/write from standard input/output unless you give it the -n. _____________________________________ Brian V.

Sorry about the dyslexia - should be rsh dec -n ... (the -n follows the hostname). _____________________________________ Brian V.
