16.3 Backup and Restore Commands
16.3.4 Remote dumps and restores
Dumps and restores can be done locally or remotely, across a network. The major difference being that when you specify location of the backup media for the remote device you need to include the system name, e.g. tardis:/dev/nrst8. You can also specify a different user on the remote machine, e.g.: frank@tardis:/dev/nrst8. The remote machine's /etc/hosts.equiv or user's .rhosts file would have to allow access.
