Linux Server to a Network Location on a Remote Linux Machine
To back up the external Sybase database that is installed and running on a Linux server to a network
location on a Linux machine, you need a local machine and a remote machine. The local machine is
a Linux server with the external Sybase database installed. The remote machine is a Linux machine
that has the network location to which you want to back up the database.
You can back up the database on a Linux machine by using any Linux share such as Samba share or
an NFS share.
