A few more points to follow-up my original posting:
o Yes, I know about the "o" compatibility switch for rdump and
rrestore. It doesn't work when dumping from a 2.0 machine to
a 3.1 machine, as far as I can tell. (I assume it works the
other way around.) 2.0 has no "o" switch at all.
o I did manage to back up our VAX by doing:
On VAX: rdump 0uf server:/tmp/root.dump /
On DS5400: dd if=/tmp/root.dump of=/dev/rmt1h bs=10k
Not ideal, but it works. (But I cannot rrestore from the tape
drive anyway... gotta go back to disk first, then rrestore from
the file.) :-(
Still flailing...
