Hi,
Yes, we use something like the following
#!/bin/sh
if [ -z $1 ] ; then
echo ""
echo "Usage: $0 <backup level>"
echo " See 'man dump' for more information."
echo ""
exit 255
fi
BACKUP_LEVEL=3D0
BACKUP_LEVEL=3D$1
/sbin/dump -C24 -${BACKUP_LEVEL}anuf - / | /usr/bin/gzip -7 |
/usr/bin/ssh -2 -c 3des backupuser@example.com dd
