On your Linux machine, do # tar cvvf hphost:/dev/tapedrive file1 file2 ..... I did it from a Linux machine to a SunOS 4.1.4. I don't see why HP-UX shouldn't work. Just make sure it has rmt. If not, install gnutar on HP-UX. FreeBSD should support it also unless its tar is broken. In that case, install gnutar on FreeBSD. H.J.
