I want to thank everyone who responded to my question; Tru64 User,
alan_at_nabeth.cxo.dec.com, Jim Belonis, Phil Baldwin, Peyton Bland, and Octave
Orgeron. Sorry if I missed anyone.
Most said that I could load the vdump from the layer product cdrom for
V4.0b, and some suggested using rvdump. I chose to use rvdump.
List below is the script that I used, but not I get these errors while the
backup is going. Any assistance to correct these errors?

KANGA DUMP Backup Completed.... Thu Oct 4 17:43:36 EST 2001
***************************************
My original posting is as follows:
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.
