Hello,
1) When I do a man page on 'tar', the screen comes up all garbled. I believe
this was discussed on the list a while back, but I can't seem to find those mails
that will shed some insight on why this is happening. Does this have something to
do with the $TERM variable?
2) I am using 'tar' to create a backup of a directory structure to another Linux server
on the same LAN. Here is a screen dump:
# tar -cvzf -f 209.212.123.157:/usr/backups /tmp/testdir
Gives this output
tar: 209.212.123.157\:/usr/backups: Cannot stat: No such file or directory
I am unaware that tar will send a file to another machine as your
are trying to do. This can be done using rsh or probably ssh but not
directly. Also tar files for sanity sake should end in a .tar
extension.
what about:
tar cvzf - /tmp/testdir | ssh user@209.212.123.157 'cat > ~/backup.tgz'
tar puts everything to STDOUT ('-') which then is passed to ssh,
where cat puts everything from STDIN to backup.tgz in user's home
directory
