RDUMP(8N)               COMMAND REFERENCE               RDUMP(8N)



NAME
     rdump - file system dump across the network

SYNOPSIS
     /etc/rdump [ key [ argument ... ] filesystem ]

DESCRIPTION
     Rdump copies to magnetic tape all files changed in the
     filesystem after a certain date.  The command is identical
     in operation to dump(8) except that the f key should be
     specified and the file supplied should be of the form
     machine.user:device.

     Rdump uses rexec to creates a remote server, /etc/rmt, on
     the client machine to access the tape device.

     To gain access to the device you wish to dump to on the
     remote machine, you must do two things:

     First, set up remote access for the root user of the client
     machine on the remote machine. This is done in either the
     /.rhosts or /etc/hosts.equiv files of the remote machine.
     See rhosts(5n) or hosts.equiv(5n). This allows you to
     execute the needed dump command as root on the remote
     machine.

     Second, assign the specified device (/dev/tc, /dev/rdf,
     etc.) to root on the remote machine. See assign(1).

DIAGNOSTICS
     Same as dump(8) with some additional network related
     messages.

RETURN VALUE
     [0]            Rdump was successful.

     [1]            Rdump was unsuccessful.

     [NP_WARN]      An error warranting a warning message
                    occurred. Execution continues.

CAVEATS
     If permissions are not correct on the remote machine, rdump
     displays cryptic remote tape server error messages.

SEE ALSO
     dump(8) and rmt(8n).
