Greetings,
I've got BSD/OS 2.1 (on a Pentium) and would like to include this host as
part of my backup routines. However, even though I can send the dump to a
remote tape drive and dump successfully completes, I cannot seem to be able
to read the resultant archive on the remote host.
When I use restore to read the tape (on a non-BSD box) it spits the dummy
with errors like:
Note: doing byte swapping
Dump date: Thu Jan 09 10:16:28
Dumped from: the epoch
Level 0 dump of / on remotehost
Label: none
Starting inode numbers by volume
Volume 1: 0
Extract directories from tape
resync restore, skipped 1 blocks
resync restore, skipped 1 blocks
resync restore, skipped 1 blocks
resync restore, skipped 1 blocks
.....
segmentation fault
I've tried restore on Solaris/HP-UX/SunOS all with the same effect. I've
also tried diff blocking factors with little success. :(
Does anyone have any idea as to how to correctly write a dump archive that
is readable by other UNIX restore commands???
TIA
