Okay, wait, so if... # ssh -luser remotehost "cat dump_file.dmp" | restore -[irRtx]f - (the original reply) would restore the dump on the (let's call it the backup server, a big thing with a raid 5 array and a DLT drive), what would be the syntax to restore on the local host (sadly, a cobalt raq3 running linux, several of these things, which have small hard drives, are backed up daily to the backup server). (Assume for a moment that I don't have the space to keep a full restore file on the disk _AND_ do the restore.) I've tried doing an NFS mount, but that's out of the question (I hate cobalts, they can only mount linux partitions). I just noticed something.... Would: ssh -luser remotehost "cat dump_file.dmp | restore -[irRtx]f -" actually be the command to do the restore on the backup server, and then the original reply is right? (note the location of quotes)? -Dan -- "There were some sensible, rational, and intelligent things to say.
