.SH NAME
rtar \- remote tape file archiver
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B rtar
[ key ] [ files ] [remote host name]
.SH DESCRIPTION
.I Rtar\^
saves and restores local files
on/from remote magnetic tape. It is a network version of tar and
supports all options in tar except the notion of standard input/output
(i.e., "-" after key f).
Files retrieved from the tape are transferred to local host where the command
is initiated.  Files intended to be saved on remote tape are
transferred from local host to remote
host and then written to the archive mounted on that (remote) host.

.br
Users can specify a particular archive where the tape is mounted by using the
"f" option.  The default archive is
.I /dev/rmt0. 

.br
The remote host name 
must be one of the official names 
in 
.I /etc/hosts
and the local host must be equivalent with
remote host in order
to enable network connection establishment, 
i.e. local host name exists in either user's 
.I .rhosts
file or in 
.I /etc/hosts.equiv
file on the remote host.

.br
Refer to tar(1) for further information on the syntax of this command and
its available options.
