I'm using dump for backups to take advantage of the dump levels. I'd like to be
able to run restore interactively, using the standard in as an input. Here's
what I have in mind:
# cd /tmp
# ssh backup@10.0.0.10 "cat /home/backup/0-var.dmp" | restore -i -f -
restore >
When I try it, it hangs on the first command I run, even the "what" command.
"top" reports the wait for restore is ttyin. I'm running OpenBSD 5.5-stable,
patch 8, compiled from source. The host is running on rootbsd.net's
infrastructure, Xen running my host as a HVM I believe.
This is how I'm creating the backups:
/sbin/dump -9 -au -f - /var | ssh -l backup 10.0.0.10 "cat >
/home/backup/9-var.dmp"
I'm not using gzip or bzip2 on the remote side, because I don't own the backup
server. rootbsd.net owns that and I want to be a good neighbor.
Am I getting the redirection wrong, or have I hit some kind of bug with the
restore command? By the way, I'm just testing. I'm not in the heat of the
moment, with a production recovery.
Thanks in advance,
