I've backed up my 386i to a remote tape drive, without using SNAP. I used
the /usr/etc/rdump command. You must be superuser, and the remote tape
host must have the name of the machine being backed up in its /.rlogin
file. The .rhosts entry must be the first name for that machine listed in
/etc/hosts. In this example, the 386i named geek is being backed up to
nerd's 1/2" tape. Geek must appear as geek.gsfc.nasa.gov in nerd's
/.rhosts:
nerd% cat /etc/hosts
128.183.xxx.xxx geek.gsfc.nasa.gov geek
nerd% cat /.rhosts
geek.gsfc.nasa.gov
geek# rdump 0uf ltpsun:/dev/rmt0 /dev/rrooth
Also, nerd's /etc/ttytab must enable root logins with the "secure"
keyword, e.g:
nerd% more /etc/ttytab
#
# @(#)ttytab 1.4 88/02/07 SMI
#
# name getty type status comments
#
console "/usr/etc/getty std.9600" sun on secure
This works for me. Good luck.
