        Hi managers,

        I have 14 DU boxes to save so I made every day a full backup of 2
        of them, using rsh :

rsh alpha7 /usr/sbin/rdump -0f alpha4:/dev/nrmt1h -b 32 /usr

        Now I want to try incremental backup using :

rsh alpha7 /usr/sbin/rdump -1f alpha4:/dev/nrmt1h -b 32 /usr

        but

        1) the backup needed a very long time,
        2) I try restore -t and see that all the files (untouched since
           the last full backup) have been backed up
        3) The tape was to short so I get the message
rdump: Rewinding and unloading tape
rdump: Allowing TAPE to rewind and eject ...
rdump: Change Tape: Mount volume 2, tape # 0002
rdump: Cannot open remote device file /dev/nrmt1h, retrying...

        and it stops before I insert a new tape with :
rdump: Cannot fopen /dev/tty for reading
query(): fopen(): No such device or address
rdump: SIGTERM received
rdump: The ENTIRE dump is aborted


        What is wrong in my idea ??

        TIA

        JEAN
