I am trying to backup /etc directory on a remote machine. I used

How can I log in as root?

Some files in /etc (example: shadow) are only readable by root.

What's
It means the estimate (127811k) was wrong and the filesystem is larger
than the estimate. It must be dumping something, look for process
activity on your client and server.
There are five concurrent dump processes running for /dev/sda5:
