Operating Systems Solaris Mount a character special file Post 78104 by RTM on Friday 15th of July 2005 12:36:54 PM

Please post the OS and version(s) of both systems and the command you are using that gets the error.

I don't believe you should be mounting the tape on the remote server - just run your backup command to point to the remote server and it's tape drive.

System A with /dev/rmt/0
System B - Example of command to run to tar to remote tape drive
tar cf - |rsh systemA dd of=/dev/rmt/0

See the man pages for tar or what ever command you are using for more info on sending output to remote tape drive.
