backup of system to a tape attached to a remote system

[kozlow]

I am trying to backup our system to a remote tape unit (HP-UX to HP-UX)

On our other systems, I do a:
ufsdump 0cuf - | rsh XXXX dd of=/dev/rmt0.1 obs=1024
(Solaris to AIX)

I know there is many ways to solve this problem, Any suggestions?

tar cvf hostB:/dev/rmt/0m *

may be?? I used that and works for me.. I think vfbackup works in this way.

Went with :
fbackup -vf REMOTE_HOST:/dev/rmt/1m -i / etc etc

This was not working before because the remote host had entries in multi DNS servers.... So I did not have the proper entry in the .rhosts file....

I am testing it now, but it seems to hang half way through... Guessing that it is losing connection due to network traffic....

Thanks....
