Execute something like the following on the host that has the tape drive, where "remotehost" is the machine you want to back up: ssh user@remotehost "tar cvf - dir | gzip -c" | dd of=/dev/nsa0 bs=8k Your remote command could be a script of some kind. As long as it writes the archive to stdout, you can pipe it through ssh and send it wherever you like. -- Chris BeHanna Software Engineer (at yourfit.com) behanna@zbzoom.net To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
