I have a number of servers, some of which are difficult to physically access. I wanted to put a large drive on one and then do dumps of the other machines to it. I don't seem to have everything setup properly, as it is not working. The backup drive is attached to the machine named "master". The machine I am trying to dump is "mail". I started out by testing dumping master first. The command: master# nohup dump -h0 -0aLf/dumps/master.dump / & works. I get a dump on the drive. In the process of trying to figure out why remote dumps were not working, I tried: master# nohup dump -h0 -0aLf root@master:/dumps/master.dump / & [1] 20446 master# DUMP: master: Connection refused DUMP: login to master as root failed. That doesn't seem to make any since. Both dumps are run as root. Somehow the login process is not functioning properly. How do I track down that problem? When I try to run dump on mail, I get a similar error: mail# dump -h0 -0aLf root@master:/dumps/mail.dump / DUMP: master: Connection refused DUMP: login to master as root failed. auth.log on both machines show no entries around that time. -- Doug
