Hi!
Can someone give me a little advice
on how to do this.
I'm running dd via ssh pipe and then I would like to
compress the output. I'm not sure how to do it so the
receiving server compresses it.
# this is what I have so far
dd if=/dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00 | ssh offsite at dev -i
/root/.ssh/id_dsa_offsite "dd of=gw2.iso"
# I tried this and a few variations but it didn't work
dd if=/dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00 | ssh offsite at dev -i
/root/.ssh/id_dsa_offsite "dd of=gw2.iso | cat |bzip2 "
Any suggestions?
Thank you,
Paul
