Data Mounting a remote filesystem under SCO Unix ver 5.0.5

Can anyone help me? I have 2 servers on the same LAN, one as a live server and one as a backup server, both running SCO OpenServer Enterprise. I need to mount the /u filesystem of the backup server as a directory on the live server, so that if I use the df -v command I can see it as an additional filesystem on the live server, eg assuming I mount it as /dev/back:
Mount Dir Filesystem blocks used free %used
/ /dev/root 1296384 972142 324242 75%
/stand /dev/boot 30720 15264 15456 50%
/u /dev/u 2506540 1874904 631636 75%
/back /dev/back ???????? ???????? ??????? ??%

I would then use crontab to cp -r all directories within the /u filesystem of the live server to this filesystem on the backup system at scheduled times after hours.
Is it possible to do this, or do I have to set up nasty ftp scripts to do it instead?. I tried using rcp but it resulted in rather spectacular kernel panics which did not go down too well with the business owner. Any help would be greatly appreciated...

NAME
dpm_modifyfs - modify the parameters of a disk pool filesystem SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/types.h> #include "dpm_api.h" int dpm_modifyfs (char *server, char *fs, int status, int weight) DESCRIPTION
dpm_modifyfs modifies the parameters of a disk pool filesystem. server specifies the host name of the disk server where this filesystem is mounted. fs specifies the mount point of the dedicated filesystem. status Initial status of this filesystem. It can be set to 0 or FS_DISABLED or FS_RDONLY. (-1 will tell the server to not change the cur- rent value). weight specifies the weight of the filesystem. This is used during the filesystem selection. The value must be positive (-1 will tell the server to not change the current value). It is recommended to use a value lower than 10. This function requires ADMIN privilege. RETURN VALUE
This routine returns 0 if the operation was successful or -1 if the operation failed. In the latter case, serrno is set appropriately. ERRORS
ENOENT Filesystem does not exist. EACCES The caller does not have ADMIN privilege. EFAULT server or fs is a NULL pointer. EINVAL The length of server exceeds CA_MAXHOSTNAMELEN or the length of fs exceeds 79. SENOSHOST Host unknown. SEINTERNAL Database error. SECOMERR Communication error. LCG
