Package: rmt Priority: optional Version: 0.4b44-1 Source: dump Architecture: __ARCH__ Maintainer: Paul A. Whittaker Section: System/Network Destination: any Depends: initscript, busybox (>= 1.11.2-1), libc6 (>= 2.7-1) Recommends: rsh-server Description: Provides local tape drive access to a remote server Since the earliest days of Unix, the dump and restore utilities have included a feature that allow access to remote tape drives by invoking an rmt (Remote Magnetic Tape) agent via rsh. More recently, GNU versions of tar and cpio have been extended to include this feature also. . A Unix-like server can thus make use of this program to access tape devices attached to a thin client.
