- Look at the man page for dump. The final argument to dump (or
- rdump) must be a FILESYSTEM, not a directory (like SunOS, for
- instance). So, if /Homes is a separate partition for you, then:
- cara> /etc/rdump 0uf host1:/dev/rmt1 /Homes
- should work for you, if the tape drive is on host1's /dev/rmt1 port
- (I assume your /dev/rmt/1 is a typo, or else DG machines are really
- weird).
