    Hi everyone,

    I have to backup a set of 4 servers with Solaris (7 & 9) on a tape located
    on one of these server (Solaris 9).

    Presently, I am using a remote ufsdump by enabling rsh on the tape server
    for the time of the backup (this server has a /.rhosts file) and disabling
    it after.

    The problem I am facing is that I have to manually start the backup script
    from each client server one after another, waiting for one backup to
    complete before starting the other.

    Backups are only done 1 time a month, but I am searching for a way to backup
    them more regulary and automatically.

    I don't want to use rsh (we are using ssh).
    I don't want a solution for what I will need to buy software or license.

    Any idea ?

    Thanks

    - Francois
