I have a 486 running FreeBSD 2.1.5 which has no tape device. I
would like to back up this machine via the network to my Sparcstation
running Solaris 2.5. I've got scripts that backup my other sparcs
using the RDUMP utility (called ufsdump under Solaris). HOwever,
the rdump under FreeBSD starts out just fine, but fails with this
output:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
rdump 0dsbfu 54000 37000 126 tapeuse@spiderweb.dot.gov:/dev/rmt/1h /
DUMP: Date of this level 0 dump: Tue Jan 21 14:32:26 1997
DUMP: Date of last level 0 dump: the epoch
DUMP: Dumping /dev/rsd0a (/) to /dev/rmt/1h on host
tapeuse@spiderweb.dot.gov
DUMP: mapping (Pass I) [regular files]
^C DUMP: Interrupt received.
DUMP: Do you want to abort dump?: ("yes" or "no") no
DUMP: mapping (Pass II) [directories]
DUMP: estimated 15149 tape blocks on 0.00 tape(s).
DUMP: Protocol to remote tape server botched (code "rmt: Command not
found").
rdump: Lost connection to remote host.
DUMP: Bad return code from dump: 1
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Any help in getting this setup would be appreciated.
