Yes. You can also do it in one step: dd if=/dev/vgname/lvname bs=1024 | ssh [email protected] "dd of=/directory_tree/filename" You might want to add -c to the ssh cmd to compress the data if the connection between the servers is < 100 MBit/s. -- sven === jabber/xmpp: [email protected] _______________________________________________ virt mailing list [email protected] https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/virt
