RDUMP(8)                386BSD System Manager's Manual                RDUMP(8)

NAME
     rdump - file system dump across the network

SYNOPSIS
     rdump [flags [argument ...] filesystem]

DESCRIPTION
     Rdump remotely backs up files across a network in the same manner as
     dump(8) locally backs up files.  The command is identical in operation to
     dump(8) except the f key must be specified and the file argument supplied
     should be of the form machine:device.

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

SEE ALSO
     dump(8),  rmt(8)

DIAGNOSTICS
     Same as dump(8) with a few extra related to the network.

HISTORY
     The rdump command appeared in 4.2BSD.
