Hi,
if there is no rdump in LINUX, you may try
# dump -0u -f - / | rsh <Servername> "dd of=/dev/nrmt0h bs=10k"
It works fine from DU3.2c to LINUX, nevertheless if the minus sign before
flags is necessary in LINUX, you know better.
Regards,
Irene.

Note: I did have to use dump 0uf - / (no dashes in it) but this works
great!
thanks!
