Re: remote backup on tape drive
What type of backup you are saying about.
Is this a OS backup, RMAN backup or File system backup or any other backup.
Clarify the same. Then we can try to assist you on the issue.
thnx...farhan

Re: remote backup on tape drive
WARNINGS
The fbackup, frecover, and ftio commands are deprecated for creating new archives. In a future HP-UX release, creation of new archives with these commands will not be supported. Support will be continued for archive retrieval.
you might take a look at "pax", but I don't know if it will work w/ remote tapes. There are also tar / dd scripts that can (I believe) write on remote tape drives.
Of course, you could invest in a backup product (like DataProtector or ?) that has this functionality built-in.

Re: remote backup on tape drive
Service Guard has tools that appear to permit remote tape drive access.
As a practical matter, the OS does not provide these tools.
I don't think this is really going to work.

Re: remote backup on tape drive
HOWEVER, you cannot restore anything if the target system cannot run HP-UX (ie, reload the OS because of a boot disk failure). This requires a bootable tape or network image created by Ignite/UX. Tapes cannot be booted over the network. Also note that remote network tape solutions may be be exceedingly slow to the point that the tape drive cannot slow down enough and will constantly reposition during the backup.
Without an Ignite backup (tape or network server), recovery from a boot disk failure will require your installation CDs or DVDs, then a fairly complex process to restore the OS.
What version of HP-UX are you running?

Re: remote backup on tape drive
I thought it worked w/ systems supporting "rmt" remote mag tape module. If so, that has been around since BSD 4.2, and is available on variety of systems (incl linux).
Of course, I could have misinterpreted the man page. Is there something specific about HP-UXs rmt that fbackup needs?
