Remote brarchive

[Fabian Briseño]

Hello.

I want to do a Remote brarchive on a remote tape device.

Lets say we have BOXa and BOXb,
I want to do a backup in BOXa using BOXb tape device.

How do I make this happen, i know it involves remsh and editing .rhosts file on both boxes, but how?

Any help would be welcome, thanks.

For tar we do as follows.

you need to have users mentioned .rhosts file in home directory.

tar -cvf - /dir/* | remsh otherhost (cd /dir;tar -xvf )

Replace tar with barchive backup commands.
