Restore files on remote HP-UX Tape
UNIX1 really does not have enough space available to restore locally. Is there a simple way to rcp the files to the new HP-UX box? Currently I can rcp and have the necessary steps in place.
I know this is probably very easy but being new to UNIX I cannot find an easy method.

Re: Restore files on remote HP-UX Tape
> [...] using sam.
What, exactly, did SAM do? If it were "tar",
then something like this might work
(depending on how exactly how the tape was
created):
UNIX1# cd /net/UNIX2/wherever
UNIX1# tar xfo /dev/tape [...]
If fbackup/restore, then something similar?
The key (I claim) is to use NFS to access the
remote file system, and restore the files to
a different file system from the original
one. That can be more difficult if the tape
archive has absolute paths ("/xxx/yyy/...")
instead of relative paths ("xxx/yyy/...").
What, exactly, is on the tape?

Re: Restore files on remote HP-UX Tape
You should be able to peruse the frecover man page and see information about this.

Re: Restore files on remote HP-UX Tape
More accurately: _A_ key [...]. Using either
a remote file system (like NFS) with a local
tape device, or a local file system with a
remote tape device, should be possible (if
the appropriate back-up program can deal with
the particular remote gizmo, and the rest of
the required infrastructure is in place).

Re: Restore files on remote HP-UX Tape
I would suggest you to go for NFS;
that is a good idea.

Re: Restore files on remote HP-UX Tape
There is no facility in the OS for this type of tape sharing.
You would need to copy the file to the system with the tape and then with a remote session on that system write to the tape.

Re: Restore files on remote HP-UX Tape
> type of tape sharing.
If true, then that would seem to make HP-UX
almost uniquely lame among UNIX
implementations.
man rmt
I never use it, but it seems to be there.
("man rdump", too, for example. I believe
that some flavors of "tar" can do this, too.)
Operating a local tape drive with a remote
disk (file system) always seemed to me to be
less trouble than the other way around.
Especially if "remote" means so remote that
you can't see the flashing lights (or hear
the whirring sounds) of the actual tape
drive.
