[plug] Filesystem backups

[Andrew Carson]

Chris,

Sure.   On the tapehost (which is running the script) I have:
<snip>
rsh remotehost /sbin/dump -0uf tapehost:/dev/rmt/0hn /home
</snip>

I also have remotehost.network.com.au in /.rhosts on the tapehost to get
thing working.

Hope this helps,


Andrew.
