.SH NAME
rdump \- file system dump across the network
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B /etc/rdump
[ key [
.I argument
\&... ] filesystem ]
.SH DESCRIPTION
.I Rdump
copies to magnetic tape all files
changed after a certain date
in the
.I filesystem.
The command is identical in operation to
.IR dump (8)
except the 
.I f
key should be specified and the file
supplied should be of the form
.IR machine:device .
.PP
.I Rdump
creates a remote server,
.IR /etc/rmt ,
on the client machine to access the tape
device.
.SH "SEE ALSO"
dump(8),
rmt(8C)
.SH DIAGNOSTICS
Same as 
.IR dump (8)
with a few extra related to the network.
.SH BUGS
Its speed is limited by the tape transport.
Is too much faster than the normal dump program;
this leads to people dumping across the net
even when they have a local tape drive.
Similarly, hard to use tape drives, such as
the TS-11, are bypassed in favor of remote
transports which are easily accessable.
