Dear folks, We need to back up a proxy server (in http accellerator mode) in the DMZ of a firewall. I want to use ssh, dump and restore to do this. The tape host is a Solaris 2.4 Sparc, is inside the firewall, and is available locally. The proxy server runs RH Linux 6.1 and is physically quite a long way away. The firewall rules allow incoming connections from within the firewall to port 22 on the proxy server; I can ssh to the proxy server from the tape host So how to back it up? Would something like this do the job: tapehost# ssh -f proxy dump -0 -u -b 20 -f - /dev/sda2 | dd bs=20b of=/dev/rmt/0 Does ssh need the -f option here? -- Nick Urbanik, Dept. of Electrical & Communications Engineering Hong Kong Institute of Vocational Education (Tsing Yi) email: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tel: (852) 2436 8660, (825) 2436 8674 Fax: (852) 2436 8643 pgp ID: 7529555D fingerprint: 53 B6 6D 73 52 EE 1F EE EC F8 21 98 45 1C 23 7B
