[comp.unix.aix] remote backup

U233A@wvnvm.wvnet.edu (05/29/91)

     How would I backup the filesystems on a remote 320
using the 930's console/tape drives?  I have tried "rexec",
but that command wants to use the 320's tape drive.
If anyone knows of a solution, can it be set up in batch
to execute from the 930, backing up the 320?  Thanks again!

You might look up the rdump command... Or maybe piping rsh or rexec
command output through dd on the 930. Or maybe port GNU tar.
