rsh into Solaris and archiove files locally

[vishawanath]

Hi!
The rsh command to Solaris works fine for me from the Linux system.

I would like to backup Solaris filesystem volumes onto the Linux server. e.g. / /usr /doc, etc...etc..

i.e. Sun Solaris Linux Server
<=======rsh to Solaris is fine.
===========> ufsdump Solaris volumes here.

I need help on the command syntax that I would need to execute on Linux system to backup the remote volumes onto the Linux server. I am already familiar with ufsdump and ufsrestore commands.

Just send the ufsdump output to stdout, i.e. "-", possibly piping it through gzip -c or something, and then redirect the output of the rsh command into a file, e.g. rootfs.ufsdump.gz.

Annihilannic.

Thanks!
Will give a shot...based in what you mention should work.
