- How do you want to bkup?
- Do you have a tape or you want to use a remote dir?

surely
info tar
or
man tar will help

Hi,
Make both the system trusted by adding the entries in .rhosts file.

Then you can do remote backup by below comand

tar cvf - /dir/dbfile1 | remsh target dd of=/dev/rct0

Hi Tamil.
For hp-ux your solution is ok.

On linux you have to use rsh instead of remsh.
You can specify a network path for bkup

eg. from storage server

#tar cfz[p] bkuphost:/path/to/tarfile.tar.gz /path/to/bkupdir

or, with bzip2
#tar cfj[p] bkuphost:/path/to/tarfile.tar.bz2 /path/to/bkupdir

sure you have to configure pam for rhosts authentication (you can search on this forum how to do it)

Peace, R.

And if you do want this all with a nice framework and driven by configurations, have a look at Amanda:
