Hi,

thanks to all that replied:

problem: "rdump" equivalent for AdvFS

solution: (This one from Alan Rollow)

The typical work-around to this missing feature in vdump seems
to be writing to stdout and then piping that to an rsh that
runs dd(1) on the system with the tape drive. Care must be
taken to select the block size for the output side of the
dd(1) command such that the tape can be restored. You would
be be wise to verify that you can restore before committing
to this method. Something like:

vdump 0f - /file-system | rsh remote-host dd of=tape-drive obs=60k
