remote tape

[yaya2003]

I have a backup software called Bacula running on one RH9 box and backup data onto the DLT tape driver attached to it. How ever I got another same DLT tape driver attached to another RH7 box. In order to write onto the remote tape.I want to mount the remote tape in RH7 into my RH9 system. How can I do that?

Cheers,
Lydia

Hi,

You can use "tar -cvf - files | rsh dd of=/dev/rmt/0" to write to remote tape.

HI,

Sorry forgot the hostname.

tar -cvf - files | rsh hostname dd of=/dev/rmt/0

long time, i used r-cmds
mybe is ssh installed, this should also work
tar cf - files | ssh hostname tar cfv /dev/rmt/0 -
you have to enter a passwd

You can use "network block devices" but I've never tried it. Do a Google.
