In article <01bbd9df$6092fa00$LocalHost@oldputer>:
|I have two linux boxes connected by a TCP/IP network.
|I have a SCSI tape drive connected internally to one box. 
|
|Up to now to back up the other machine I have mounted its entire filesystem
|via nfs, however it would be a neater solution (and one that might be made
|to run unattended) if I could simply mount the tape drive as a network
|drive to the machine that does not physically own it.
|
|I am sure that the method of doing this is a simple one, but at present it
|evades me.
|
|Any suggestions/solutions gratefully received.

|Cheers

Both tar and dump can use remote tape drives by specifying the drive as
machine:/dev/tapedevice. This uses the rmt protocol. See the man
pages.
