https://community.hpe.com/t5/operating-system-hp-ux/sybase-command-dump-to-remote-drive/m-p/3069128#M904686 I have a SYBASE server running 12.0 on a K200 system, the tape drive is down and it will be a couple of days till I get a replacement. Does the DUMP command have the capabilities to do a dump to a remote tape drive. I have tried the server:/dev/rmt/c3t0d0BESTn but it just sits there Thu, 11 Sep 2003 17:15:51 GMT Belinda Dermody 2003-09-11T17:15:51Z https://community.hpe.com/t5/operating-system-hp-ux/sybase-command-dump-to-remote-drive/m-p/3069128#M904686 I have a SYBASE server running 12.0 on a K200 system, the tape drive is down and it will be a couple of days till I get a replacement.

The syntax can be found at:<BR /><BR /><A href="http://sybooks.sybase.com/onlinebooks/group-as/asg1200e/asesag/@ebt-link;pt=65043?target=%25N%15_65142_START_RESTART_N%25" target="_blank">http://sybooks.sybase.com/onlinebooks/group-as/asg1200e/asesag/@ebt-link;pt=65043?target=%25N%15_65142_START_RESTART_N%25</A><BR /><BR />It looks as if you may have the limitation that you must dump to a server running Sybase BackupServer in order for that to work.<BR /><BR />Of course the other option is to dump to disk, and copy the disk files to the tape Fri, 12 Sep 2003 14:25:31 GMT https://community.hpe.com/t5/operating-system-hp-ux/sybase-command-dump-to-remote-drive/m-p/3069129#M904687 David Goldberg_1 2003-09-12T14:25:31Z
