Re: Tape backup through ssh

It seems to me like the ufsdump part is not being executed correctly.

Did you check that you can correctly login to the remote machine with the ssh -2 -o 'BatchMode yes' -i /.ssh/ufsdump_key machine command?

You don't specify a user@. I assume you are executing the command as root in the local machine, right?

Try to redirect the output to a file and see if it works:

ssh -2 -o 'BatchMode yes' -i /.ssh/ufsdump_key machine /usr/sbin/ufsdump 0ufb - 126 / > /tmp/system_dump

You should see /tmp/system_dump growing. By the way, remove the -q flag so you can see all warnings.
