Out of the ether, Ben Weaver spewed forth the following bitstream:
> $ df
> Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Avail Capacity Mounted on
> /dev/sd0s1a 3976982 909105 2749719 25% /
> /dev/sd1s1e 3976982 3359343 299481 92% /home
> /dev/sd2s1f 992751 817542 95789 90% /var
> procfs 4 4 0 100% /proc
> bash-2.03# ssh backup@tranq1 /sbin/dump -0a -f - /dev/sd0s1f | dd of=t1.var
> DUMP: bad sblock magic number
Note that you are dumping /dev/sd0s1f and not /dev/sd2s1f. /dev/sd0s1f does
not contain a valid filesystem, thus can't be dumped.
