Hey guys.
I've got this big fat backup server with no space left on the hard
drive
to store a tar file. I'd like to pipe a tar through ssh, but not sure
what the command would be. Something to the effect of:
# cat /var/backup | ssh backup.homelan.com 'tar data.info.gz'
So that, the data is actually being sent over ssh, and then
archived on
the destination machine.
you have a tar file you want transferred, or a directory called
backup? if it's a directory, i'd (from the target machine) ssh
sourcemachine "tar /var/backup/* -" > data.info.gz
see the very long discussion we had on this list about this a few
months ago.
Help!
