The command I use to to backup on the system with the local tape drive is: dump 0ufB /dev/nrst0 4000000 / and dump 0ufB /dev/nrst0 4000000 /usr - which works just fine. When I goto another machine (the one minus the tape drive) I try: rdump 0ufB sinbad:/dev/nrst0 4000000 / and I get: Permission denied. TCP_MAXSEG setsockopt: Bad file descriptor AND I've tried: dump 0ufB /dev/nrst0 4000000 henry:/ And I get: DUMP: Date of this level 0 dump: Fri Mar 22 13:16:18 1996 DUMP: Date of last level 0 dump: the epoch DUMP: Dumping henry:/ to /dev/nrst0 DUMP: Cannot open henry:/ and it doesn't work. The machines are set up properly (*I think*) within root's .rhosts file. And I can rcp and rsh between machines no problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
