    Greetings

    I have 2 SunFire280R machines and a DLT8000 tape backup connected to one
    of the machines.

    I traying to backup one system on the tape backup of the other whith the
    following command

    ssh -C sun2 ufsdump 0afo /tmp/dumplog - /u00 | dd of=/dev/rmt/0cn bs=1024

    So far so good,

    The problem is that I want to backup multiple systems. The ufsdump
    documantation says that the procedure should be as follows:

    ssh -C sun2 ufsdump 0afo /tmp/dumplog - /u00 /u01 /u05 | dd
    of=/dev/rmt/0cn bs=1024

    But it just doesnt work. It just baks up the first file system.and it
    doesn't report any errors.

    I would like to use ufsdump instead of tar so I can use the interactive
    tool ufsrestore.

    Any sugestions.

    Thanks in advance
