Hi,

Some time ago I used fbackup remotely but now it does not work. Can't guess what has changed. Any hint?

Thanks,
Vlad

Vlad,

when you say it doesn't work, can you provide the error message and OS level?

Hi,
Check the /.rhosts file on the machine whose backup u r taking.

It must include the name of the machine holding tape drive and the user root.

Thanks,

You can test the correctness of the remote .rhosts file, by doing something like this:

On the system to be backed up and as root do:

# remsh tape_drive_host date

This should return the date/time and should *not* ask for a password.

If this works, the remote .rhosts file is OK.
