1.TH RDUMP 8 "18 January 1983"
2.UC 4
3.SH NAME
4rdump \- file system dump across the network
5.SH SYNOPSIS
6.B /etc/rdump
7[ key [
8.I argument
9\&... ] filesystem ]
10.SH DESCRIPTION
11.I Rdump
12copies to magnetic tape all files
13changed after a certain date
14in the
15.I filesystem.
16The command is identical in operation to
17.IR dump (8)
18except the
19.I f
20key should be specified and the file
21supplied should be of the form
22.IR machine:device .
23.PP
24.I Rdump
25creates a remote server,
26.IR /etc/rmt ,
27on the client machine to access the tape
28device.
29.SH "SEE ALSO"
30dump(8),
31rmt(8C)
32.SH DIAGNOSTICS
33Same as
34.IR dump (8)
35with a few extra related to the network.
36.SH BUGS
37Its speed is limited by the tape transport.
38Is too much faster than the normal dump program;
39this leads to people dumping across the net
40even when they have a local tape drive.
41Similarly, hard to use tape drives, such as
42the TS-11, are bypassed in favor of remote
43transports which are easily accessable.
