Subject: dump problem
Status: RO
I am trying to make a tape backup on a tz5. I ran MAKEDEV tz5
and the file /dev/rmt0h was created. Then I tried to dump using
dump -0un -f /dev/rmt0h -b 32 /
but I get the error message
dump: Dumping from host borg.med.ecu.edu
dump: Date of this level 0 dump: Fri Oct 06 12:35:09 1995 EDT

I think I must be doing something stupid like missing
out a mounting step. Can some kind person clue me in
Thanks

Thanks to all the people who responded. As many people
pointed out the tape machine was not being recognized and
a kernel rebuild required. Another machine on our network
was configured to recognize the tape machine so we were
able to use
rdump -3u -f another:/dev/rmt5h /filesystem
Thanks again for your help
