SYNTAX


              +----------------------------+
/etc/rdump ---|       +------------------+ |--- filesystem ---|

DESCRIPTION

The rdump command copies to magnetic tape or specified device all files changed
after a certain date in the filesystem.  The command is identical in operation
to dumpbsd except the "f" should be specified in the key and the device
supplied should be of the form machine:device.

The rdump command creates a remote server, /etc/rmt, on the client machine to
access the tape device.

You must have read permissions for all files to be copied, or be the superuser.
