What version of unix is the backup client? I can tell you that Solaris 2.7 (my admin host) *will* "ufsdump" an nfs mounted FS.
It used to be back in the SunOS days that "dump" would not. I remember trying.
Can you use a Solaris 2.7+ client to try it on?

I would like to backup an NFS system (from a Network Appliances filer) to a local tape drive (with multi-volume), via Solaris 8 system, which command is better ?
I have try to make this backup with ufsdump, but I have error : root@server:/tmp# ufsdump 0uf /dev/rmt/0cn /mnt/filer/ DUMP: `/mnt/filer' is not on a locally mounted filesystem DUMP: The ENTIRE dump is aborted. root@server:/tmp#
Thanks, Laurent
