Re[2]: Backup across LAN using tar

[Jeff CTR Vandenbussche tc faa gov (Jeff CTR Vandenbussche)]

     Wayne,
     
     Do you know how the files are transferred across the network?.  What 
     service does it use?  We allow very few services in, and I'm getting a 
     connection refused error.  
     
     Thanks,
     
     Jeff

gnu tar supports remote tape drives:
     
# tar czf <RS/6000 host name>:<RS/6000 device name> <dir to bup>
     
     
Assuming the rmt app is available on the RS/6000 ....
