My fault for not specifying the version of Tru64 that I am running.
Incidentally it is 4.0F.
A summary of my question: I need to backup/restore an AdvFS fileset across
the network, how does one do it?
The result is that under 4.0F there is not a remote facility to
vdump/vrestore.
However there is a solution, that does not suit my purposes right now.
It is to do:
vdump -0 -u -b 64 -f - /<filesystem> | rsh -h <hostname with tape drive> dd
of=<tapedrive> bs=64k
using vrestore is the opposite:
rsh <hostname> dd if<tapedrive> bs=64k | vrestore -f - -x -v
Fortunately for those of us on 5.0 and higher we could use rvdump/rvrestore
in much the same manner as rdump/rrestore.

archives, or I would have found it)
