Hi, and happy holidays season to all. I'm trying to remote backup a debian machine and I'm having some trouble, so I'm looking for advice. Usually I backup using tob, i.e. afio. What I want now is that for the machine with tape to share it with other machines on the same lan, at least allowing them to write their backup on the tape. In tob docs there's a reference to a sample-rc directory containing examples, but I can't find it anywhere (I'm using tob 0.14-1). I followed istructions given in another doc (called remotebackup) but it all ends up in a 'permission denied' message on the client machine. After a lot of mess with rsh and .rhosts files, I can execute 'stupid' commands (i.e. ls) but not backup. afio seems not to understand [EMAIL PROTECTED]:device syntax (used in that example). afio likes host:device syntax, but gives "permission denied", so I'm stuck. Before giving up, I tried nc (netcat). It looks promising, but all the doc is 60K 'introduction' file, no man page, no switch list. Before dive into it, I'd like to know if there's any info around.
