OK. I used the following: tar -cpvzO / --exclude-from=/home/not-file 2>/tmp/tarlog.err | ssh user@ipaddrs "cat > backup.tgz" No messages went to the screen. tarlog.err is 4Mb large. Looked at it for error messages. NONE! not even the one I was getting before routing stderr.out. I did a the -l option, but that should not result in no error messages... So now what? Confused.
It appears when you tar to STDOUT it redirects the usual STDOUT messages to STDERR, in addition to the errors, so I guess a separate error log when tar-ing to STDOUT's out.
