I'm going the silly way. I forgot all about dump only working on filesystems (a lesson I learned last year). I was using a file just as a test. Nonetheless, I changed my disklist to backup /dev/hd3 on mike and I get similar results. I thought that was going to be the answer for sure because I see that I'm using gtar on my Solaris machine and dump on the AIX. I just installed gnu tar on my AIX machine and I tried again using GNUTAR instead of DUMP. I also changed what I'm backing up on mike from /dev/hd3 to /tmp. Similar response. Missing estimate.
