Hi everyone,

I have an alpha 800 w/ tru64 V4.0b that has just ufs file systems. It does
not have the vdump binary on this system, but has a TZ891 DLT 5 tape library
attached to it.

I want to back-up a 2 each DS-10s, tru64 V5.1, that has an identical
configuration of advfs and ufs:

Filesystem 1024-blocks Used Available Capacity Mounted on
root_domain#root 524288 88126 430160 18% /
/proc 0 0 0 100% /proc
usr_domain#usr 2621440 1123641 1390048 45% /usr
usr_domain#var 2621440 88088 1390048 6% /var
/dev/disk/dsk0h 11148948 1544596 8489457 16% /disk1
mfs:5173 241631 1 217466 0% /mfsspace

1. Is this possible?

2. If so what are your thought about doing this, since the alpha 800 does
not have vdump on it. Since dump/rdump does not handle advfs (as far as I
know).

3. I have another system that has vdump on it, but its a V4.0f system, so
can I copy the vdump binary to the alpha 800 and do a rsh to back up the
DS10?

Due to rack space I am not able to connect the tape to a DS10 at this time,
but hopefully will in the future.
