fbackup to windows file server
Does anyone have any experience of using fbackup to a Windows file server across the network? I have considered fbackup to disc then ftp to the file server, but the hp-ux box does not have enough disc space.
Any ideas?
hp9000 d380 running hp-ux 10.2

The alternative is probably mush easier: get a new drive. DDS drives (especially DDS2) wear out quite fast and are very cheap (no new ones have been made for years). Or get an external SCSI disk JBOD box.

Re: fbackup to windows file server
thread for one (untested) idea:
http://forums1.itrc.hp.com/service/forums/questionanswer.do?threadId=1112854
I can't test it, but it looks plausible to
me, and while Mr. Hassel keeps claiming
impossibility, I'm still waiting for a good
counter-argument (like, for example, a good
counter-demonstration).
This method assumes that your Windows (or
other remote) system has an "rsh" ("remsh")
server, or, if you switch things to use it,
an "ssh" server.
It also assumes that an fbackup as old as
yours can do "-f -", as "man fbackup"
describes on a more current system.
As always, however, relying on an ad hoc
network backup scheme can leave you crippled
if your boot disk fails. Used tape drives
(even working ones) can be pretty cheap on
popular auction Web sites. (The same is true
for small- to medium-sized SCSI disks. Cheap
junk can offer affordable redundancy.)

Re: fbackup to windows file server
If you have another hp-ux box you can fbackup to remote hp-ux box's tape drive.

Re: fbackup to windows file server
One other note: you can't restore a dead system from your windows backup. Nor can the windows box provide an Ignite image for your HP-UX box.
