Very Computer

Hello,

I have 2 pentium servers, one with an exabye 4200c scsi tape drive(server1).
Now i want to back up server2 to tape on the which is located internally
in the first server.  I have set up the equivance for back up as per the sco help pages.
I know my network does work cause i can do anything between the machines and the internet.
but i still get the error saying that server1 is not authorized to backup server2.

Am I missing something??

Help would be appreciated..:) TIA

I have never done this from sysadmsh, but I have done it from the command
line. Most important is that you have user equivalence. This is easy to test
by doing an rlogin between machines. If it asks for a password, you don't.

To backup server2 to tape on server1, enter on server1:
#rcmd server2 "tar cvf - /usr " > /dev/rct0

or on server2 enter:
#tar cvf - /usr | rcmd server1 dd of=/dev/rct0
