Hi everybody.
I have 5 DEC WorkStations running DU 4.0, only one of these has a tape
drive (DAT 4mm), I am using vdump to make backup of nfs-mounted file
systems and it works fine.
I found in the osf-managers archive some messages that instruct how to
use vdump remotely but i does not work.
I used the following commands.
For backup:
# vdump -0v -b 60 -f - -D /etc | \
rsh <STATION_WITH_TAPE_DRIVE> dd of=/dev/rmt0h bs=60k
and for restore:
# rsh <STATION_WITH_TAPE_DRIVE> dd if=/dev/rmt0h obs=60k | \
vrestore -i -f - -D /tmp/etc
And the output message is:
vrestore: unable to use save-set; invalid or corrupt format
Any suggestions?
