Don,

I have used tar to compress the file but pax to extract the files
 pax -rvf xxx.tar.file

I have never done it in one command. I do the following on the TO System:
1)ftp the opeview tar file from system1
2)stoppd all gui's
3)stopped all daemons
4) delete the contents of /usr/OV/databases/openview
5) pax -rvf xxx.tar.file
6)/usr/OV/service/reset_ci
7)restart daemons
8)restart netview.

I also bring over fields, symbols and bitmaps directories. I have only done 
this on two identical systems. Same netview version, os, and framework. Also, 
the 2 systems are in the same subnet. Oh, I ususally bring the 
/usr/OV/databases and not /usr/OV/databases/openview

HOpe that helps..

Does anyone know the syntax of the tar command to tar up files (NV db) on one 
machine and copy them to another?

It is something like this, but I don't recall the exact syntax

tar -cvf - /usr/OV/databases/openview | ( rexec machine2 ; cd 
/usr/OV/databases/openview ; tar xvf -)

Does anyone use something like this?
