remote fbackup

[Nobody's Hero]

Are there any tricks to performing a remote fbackup? do I need an entry in the .rhost file?

What would the command syntax look like?

Scenario ..
hostname=mars
hostname=venus (remote drive is here /dev/rmt/0m)

Login venus (as root) ..
1) Create .rhosts file under root's home directory. Content should look like this ..
mars root

Login mars (as root) ..
1) Test first with remsh ..
# remsh venus ll /dev/rmt/0m
===> it should list /dev/rmt/0m file on venus without needing you to enter your passowrd.
# cd /var/adm
# fbackup -f venus:/dev/rmt/0m -v -i syslog
==> test it ..

Yes, you need to have entries in the .rhosts file. The remote backup can be done by specifying the -f device_path option:

# fbackup -f hostname:/device_name

Remember, you can only use magnetic tapes on remote operations.

This is another good explanation and eg:
