- SUBJECT:RMT server and SUN/HP rdump
-
- I have just started playing with the rmtserver in Multinet 3.1. Using the
- defaults in the manual I tried to back up my Sun workstation to the TZ30
- drive on my Vaxstation. I was pleasantly surprised to see it working fine,
- except for one problem.
-
- rdump was not using the entire tape. I confirmed this by backing up to a
- TA79 at 6250bps. I observed that only 1/4 of the reel was used before
- rewinding.
-
- Also there is a problem with reel changing. rdump says that the tape is
- rewinding and dismount the tape. I then mount the next reel and rdump grabs
- it and immediately dismounts it. It then asks for the next reel. I remount
- the reel and enter "yes" to the prompt and it resumes the backup. How can I
- make the reel changes smoother?
-
- What syntax should I use to dump to a full-sized 9-track tape at 6250bpi?
-
- I need to do this with HP-UX as well but I believe that the syntax would be
- the same.
-
- I also will need to do this to a TA90e in the near future. Is anyone out
- there doing this?
-
- Thanks for your help! I will summarize if necessary.
