NAME

rrestore − restore a file system dump across the network

SYNOPSIS

/etc/rrestore [ key [ name ... ]

DESCRIPTION

rrestore obtains from magnetic tape files saved by a previous dump(8). The command is identical in operation to restore(8) except the f key should be specified and the file supplied should be of the form machine:device.

rrestore creates a remote server, /etc/rmt, on the client machine to access the tape device. If the file is specified as user@machine:device, rrestore will attempt to execute as the specified user on the remote machine.  The specified user must have a .rhosts file on the remote machine that allows root from the local machine.
