So far, I've had no luck. It seems that >/etc/dump does not recognize remote devices of the form host:/devname. I think the problem is that you need to use /etc/rdump. Now why in 4.3BSD, dump and rdump are still separate programs, I don't know. Anyways, I've managed to rdump my 330 Mb SCSI disk onto a MicroVax TK50 tape drive. I can't say who is to blame, but it took over 5 hours to do over the network! There's got to be a better way (I still haven't gotten my blank optical disks yet!).
