   4 So you may have a look at the enclosed scripts.
   5
   6 I use rsh in both directions. This may easily be changed to ssh.
   7
   8 Basically three scripts are now necessary. The first wraps around the
   9 dump-command, the second acts as user exit when CD has to be changed
  10 and the third has to be run on the remote box.
  11
  12 To make things easier I put the first two into one file called
  13 dump-to-remote-cd. The second file called get-dumpdata-to-cdrecord must
  14 be copied to the box with the CD-Burner. There is a small
  15 configuration section in it to get cdrecord to work.
  16
  17 dump-to-remote-cd may be called with the capacity of the media which
  18 is used and / or a filesystem argument passed to dump.
  19
  20 Usage is:
  21
  22 dump-to-remote-cd [ -c <CD_capacity> ] [files to dump ...]
  23
  24 There are defaults in the scripts which are used if any of these
  25 arguments are missing. The hostname of the box with the CD-burner
  26 has to be edited in any case.
