Hi all,

to backup these file but getting getting error " sh buffer not found '
even "buffer-1.19-1" package in installed and available in path and command is working.
whats the way out nad can i user some other method to backup my files on linux machine on tape
Your buffer utility might not be in your remote shell's non-interactive PATH. You could use the full pathname in your command line so it finds it, like so:
tar cf .... | ssh .... "/usr/local/bin/buffer -o /dev/rmt..."
If it happens to live in /usr/local/bin. You can find out where it is by typing "which buffer" (in csh-like shells) or "type buffer" (in bash-like shells).
