I've had trouble doing remote dumps from one SUN fileserver to another.  We
have two of them:  a 3/180 and a 3/280.  The 3/180 has a 1/4 inch cartridge
tape drive and the 3/280 has a 1/2 inch tape drive.  If I try to do a remote
level 0 dump from the 3/180 to the 3/280 (doing it on the cartridge tapes is
a real hassle) with, for example, the following command:

dump 0ufdb betty:/dev/rmt8 6250 126 /dev/rxy0d

it seems to work fine (betty is the name of the 3/280).  BUT when I try to
restore, I get "tape is not a dump tape".

anyone had any luck with this, or suggestions for any better methods?

thanks in advance.

-Joanne
