Sure is. If you have passwordless ssh enabled between the two systems you don't even need to include username and password in the pipe. I backup my laptop that I'm writing this from every night over a wireless network to a system with 2 tape drives. Something like: xfsdump -l 0 - / | ssh hostname xfsrestore - /tmp
excellent, thanks. so i've got this running right now. oddly though, the ownership of the files/dirs on the remote end is not matching up with the originals. is this normal & expected? for example, stuff in various user's $HOME is showing a UID# of 0 for alot of entries, which isn't even close to correct. I see that xfsrestore has a -o option which is supposed to restore file and dir owner/group info, but i didn't know if that was needed for the original dump.
At any rate, this is the command that i used for the dump: xfsdump -p 4 -l 0 - / | ssh 10.0.0.1 xfsrestore - /tmp/llama/
Would this work for doing the xfsrestore using ssh/scp: ssh hostname xfsdump - /tmp/llama/ | xfsrestore - /
