Hi Larry, tar doesn't support the "direct" access of remote tape (or device)... since there's no daemon, who takes care of the connection. A combination of rcp/rsh or scp/ssh could help. Alternatively you could mount the device via NFS (but I have no i experiences about that). cu, Joe >Larry, > >I guess the user who's trying to take the backup on remote server >'server1' shud have enough previliges to acccess. >His entry shud be in /etc/hosts.equiv > >Do correct me if I'm wrong.. > >-Ramachandra. > >-----Original Message----- >From: redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx >[mailto:redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of >larry.sorensen@xxxxxxxx >Sent: Wednesday, April 19, 2006 5:03 PM >To: redhat-list@xxxxxxxxxx >Subject: RE: Sharing SCSI tape drives > >I tried tar -cvf server1:/dev/st0 /directory, but it failed.
