AW: RE: Sharing SCSI tape drives

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..

I tried tar -cvf server1:/dev/st0 /directory, but it failed. Do I need
to somehow share the drive on the server, like NFS or something, or
should it just be able to access it?
