Remote fbackup

Steve Hall_2 — Thu, 27 Jul 2006 12:19:53 GMT

I have a failing tape drive, I have another drive in a remote machine.

Using fbackup -f machine:/dev/rmt/0m

I get the following error message
fbackup(3301): could not open output file machine:/dev/rmt/0m

What have I to do on the remote machine to allow the operation, or whatelse am I doing wrong ?

Steve,

This thread will help you out, also you can check in sam to see if your remote tape define is defined for use,

first, does the fbackup work locally on that server?
Second, have you set up the security to allow this?

Fbackup does work on the local server.

How do I check the security ?

If I recall correctly you need .rhosts set up.

.rhost on the 2 machines was the problem
