Hi,
I'm very sorry for the delay, but follow the conclusions about
vdump/vrestore that I got after a lot of experiments. Let's suppose two
machines <A> and <B>:
<A>: /sbin/vdump -0f - /usr | rsh <B> dd of=/dev/nrmtxh obs=60k
<A>: rsh <B> dd if=/dev/nrmtxh bs=60k | vrestore -x -f - -D /mnt /file
or
<A>: rsh <B> dd if=/dev/nrmtxh bs=60k | vrestore -i -f -
where:
x in /dev/nrmtxh is the tape drive unit number
