Thanks Henry!
You are rigth, but when there's no money...
vxdump is the equiv. of ufsdump from Veritas for the Veritas FS!
With samba can you access remote devices (tapes) in diferentes SO ??
Someone know ?

Given that I live only in the world of NetBackup and I do know that =3D
vxdump
is also part of one of our products (I honestly don't even know which
product), keep in mind that this answer may not be absolute. =3D20

I generally give the following rule of thumb:  if backed up in unix, =3D
restore
in unix.  If backed up in NT/2000, restore in NT/2000.  Even if you use
tar32.exe on an nt box, the tar format will tend to get mangled by the
windows OS.  A windows box can read it, but a unix box can not.  =3D
Solaris is
also capable of using block sizes that Windows can not handle.  There =
=3D
are a
lot of physical factors that tend to make this a bad idea.

Does anyone know how to do a vxdump backup from a Solaris 5.7 server to
an Exabyte 215M tape library connect to a Windows 2000 Server ?
Thanks in advance,
