I'm trying to write backups directly to tape as follows:<br>
<br>
ssh $mach "tar -cf - $BackupThis" > /dev/nst0<br>
<br>
but when I try to read it from the tape I get:<br>
<br>
tar: /dev/nst0: Cannot read: Cannot allocate memory<br>
<br>
I've tried tarring directly to the tape from the local machine and that<br>
works fine.<br>
<br>
Anyone else tried this? Suggestions?<br></blockquote></div><div><br></div><div><br></div>Hmm.. If I had looked closer I would have seen the quotes..
