it's a little bit strange that the local solution is working here with a cat. Usual you use dd here to connect to the pipe and not cat e.g. like dd if=<input pipe from DB> bs=32k | gzip -q | dd of=<tape> bs=32k Therefore the solution for a remote tape might be as follows dd if=<input pipe from DB> bs=32k | gzip -q | ssh <user>@<host> dd of=<tape> bs=32k Please let me know if this works ...
