in 3.2C, the rdump command has been changed
the command I used to dump on a remote drive :
/usr/sbin/rdump 1uNbsdf 64 4418 72000 dumphost.o2tech.fr:/dev/rmt/0mn /dev/rz2c
is refused; with:
rdump: Cannot convert output filespec /dev/rmt/0mn to no-rewind device, rewind may occur on close

rdump: NEEDS ATTENTION: Do you want to continue anyway?: ("yes" or "no") no

an other test with:

 /usr/sbin/rdump 1uNbsdf 64 4418 72000 dumphost.o2tech.fr:/dev/rmt/0m /dev/rz1c

rdump: Dumping from host alpha.o2tech.fr
rdump: Date of this level 1 dump: Tue Nov 28 11:13:21 1995 MET
rdump: Date of last level 0 dump: the start of the epoch
rdump: Dumping /dev/rrz1c (/home/alpha1) to /dev/nrmt/0 on host godunov.o2tech.fr
rdump: Mapping (Pass I) [regular files]
rdump: Mapping (Pass II) [directories]
rdump: Cannot open remote device file /dev/nrmt/0, retrying...
rdump: Cannot open remote device file /dev/nrmt/0, retrying...
rdump: Cannot open remote device file /dev/nrmt/0, retrying...


----- End Included Message -----

Finally I created a directory /dev/nrmt and linked all /dev/rmt/* in it.
It works, but there is still a warning message:
 /usr/sbin/rdump 1uNbsdf 64 4418 72000 dumphost.o2tech.fr:/dev/rmt/0m /dev/rz1c

rdump: Dumping from host alpha.o2tech.fr
rdump: Date of this level 1 dump: Tue Nov 28 11:14:57 1995 MET
rdump: Date of last level 0 dump: the start of the epoch
rdump: Dumping /dev/rrz1c (/home/alpha1) to /dev/nrmt/0 on host godunov.o2tech.fr
rdump: Mapping (Pass I) [regular files]
rdump: Mapping (Pass II) [directories]
rdump: Remote system is not known to be compatible for magtape functions, output being treated as regular file

I not yet tried to restore...
