I am trying to back up multiple machines from one tape drive on one 
machine.  I have looked at the dump man pages which come up when I do a 
man on rdump and they offer no examples.  I have tried:

rdump 0ufB /dev/nrst0 10000000 hostname:/filesystem

and this has not worked.  I do have pretty tight wrappers but even when 
I removed them and put the tape drive host in the backup host's 
hosts.equiv file it did not help.  Does anyone have any examples of 
this?

Thanks,
