Hey guys.
I've got this big fat backup server with no space left on the

So that, the data is actually being sent over ssh, and then
archived on
the destination machine.
tar -zcf - /var/backup | ssh backup.homelan.com "( cat >

something similar, probably is possible to avoid the use of cat bat

wow, I am quite blown away - not only at the fact that I just tried
the
above command (and it worked of course) but also that I've found a new
way of doing something that I never thought of before.
This is one to remember!
(now, if only I'd backed up yesterday, before I did an accidental
`rm *`
instead of `rm *~`)
good thing none of US has ever done that...as root from the / .... on
a running production server....in the middle of month-end....
