Remote backup

[JorGeVaL]

Hi all,

I have a little problem with two SCO Openserver rel 505:

On machine A the backup device is not working , but i want to make the copy of a filesystem from the machine A on the BackUp device on machine B.

I have configured trusted access for the user root on both machines and i can execute remote commands , example:

On machine B i type # " rcmd A(hosts) ls /tmp " and the same command on machine A to machine B. That Works fine.

Now i want to copy the filesystem /u from the machine A on the backup device on B (/dev/rct0 ) with the command on Machine B:

#rcmd A(host) find /u | cpio -ocvB -O/dev/rct0

and i get the error:

cpio: cannot get info about file: "/u/file " No such file or directory (error 2)

There are some files or directories that are copied on the backup device on machine B but others not.

I put all access on the files (chmod -R 777 /u/*) just for testing that is not a permission access the error, but i do not understand why some plain text files and directories are not copied on the backup device on machine B.

What am i doning wrong ?

Any idea ?

Thank you !!

I'll bet some of the files or directories are symlinked, perhaps to other filesystems, and those are among the missing.

Try redirecting the find to a file, and review whats in the file.

I found at the caldera web site the answer to my problems.
