SUMMARY: Backups - Sun and Ultrix Systems

[Dragon Master]

Thanks to all the netlanders for the responses.  It seems the
solution was fairly simple, although no one gave me the exact
answer.  Most of you responded to use the 'o' option, which to
an Ultrix system means "other" than Ultrix.  This option is only
available with the "rdump" command, which unlike Sun systems, is
a different command on Ultrix.  Dump and rdump are the same
executable on Sun systems. (rdump is a link to dump).  This, in
reality, turned out to be the key.  The rdump command, without the
'o' option works just fine, so I can send the same command to both
the Ultrix and Unix systems.

Thanks,
