I appreciated the value of your instant responses, Alan Davis, Andre Renaud.
Thank you very much.
Below is a summary,
If the backups are dump/vdump/tar/cpio/pax you would boot from the
distribution CD, create the devices for the required disks, start the
network and restore using rsh in a pipeline.
If the backups are in Legato Networker or something else proprietary you
will have to do a basic system installation from the distribution CD and get
the Networker installation done and verified before doing the restore.
----------------------------------------------------
I've used the following procedure on Tru64 v5.0 and above, but I believe it
should work fine for v4.0
If you boot of the installation CD, and then back out of the install to the
prompt you should be able to use ifconfig to manually up the network card. The
mount the old / partition somewhere (ie: /mnt). Once this is done you can use
the r* tools (rsh etc...) to pipe the output of vrestore/tar (or whatever you
use) to the local mount point.
I'm not sure if I've explained this very well, feel free to email me if you
would like me to go into more detail.

Subject: How to Restore a whole system remotely
Hi All,
Could anybody please show me how to restore the root, usr and var from a
remote
tape drive which is located on the other server ? The filesystems are advfs.
We have a server (4.0F) which has no tape drives and is backed up remotely
everynight.
Thanks
