 Unix Tip #4522- July 29, 2025
 
DUMP TO A FILE  
  
Ever have the need to dump the contents of a partition  
into a single file on a remote machine. The local  
machine does need to be trusted by the remote machine  
for this to work.  
  
Use the following command:  
  
# dump 0fb - 126 [filesystem] | rsh [remote machine]  
'(cd [destination dir];dd of=[destination file] os=126b)'  
  
# dump 0fb - 126 /dev/root | rsh foo '(cd /usr2/tmp;dd of=root.dump os=126b)'
