[Dany Dionne <ddionne@poynting.phy.ulaval.ca>]

Hi,
I woul like backup our linux box. Our Exabyte is on a other machine, a Sun
on Solaris. I have the permission to access the Exabyte on the Sun. But, I
have some problem to backup our hardrive on the Exabyte with the tar
command of Linux. Anyone can help me?

Thanks in advance,
