I've got a really old system we use for call logging. The OS is SCO 3.2
uname -a output
Code:
SCO_SV bts7053 3.2 2 i386
the problem we are having is that its no longer doing its backups. The original problem was the tape drive, which has been replaced twice now. Because the company are currently looking to replace the whole system within the next 6 months we are loathed to replace it again.
What I thought of doing was replacing the current backup script with one to dump to an NFS share on another server, however when i try
Code:
#mount -f nfs 192.168.1.45:/backup/sco /backup2
I get the response
Code:
mount: invalid fs type <nfs>
I have also tried creating an exports file with a listing to try remotely mount the directory i wish to backup but NFS doesn't seem to be installed/available
I'm pretty clued up on linux but limited with Unix so any quick pointers or help would be much appreciated....
Cheers

read the man pages of sco for mount, most probably you don't need to specify the fs type, but rather "-o vers=2 || 3", it depends.
BTW, currently the access to their "docsrv" is denied...
