[comp.sys.next] dumping to non-NeXTs

dhubbell@june.cs.washington.edu (David Hubbell) (09/26/90)

I would like to back my NeXTs up on my nice, new 8mm tape drive, which is
attached to a Sun SPARC 330.  My other Suns can dump to this drive, but
the man page says that NeXTs can only rdump to other NeXTs, and the NeXTs
say "file not found" when I try to use machine:/dev/nrst#.  We've got NFS
everywhere, and the Suns and NeXTs have entries for each other in their
/.rhosts and hosts.equiv files.  Is there some other voodoo to do, or should
I give up?  Does Mach 2.0 solve this?
	Thanks in advance,
