How to use dump for remote backups

[JB]

Hi,
Depending if you want to make it an automated process or not you might look
at installing ssh key:

I use rsynk for backups cause it takes way less bandwidth and resources.
There is an incremental backup version using rsynk:

Regards,
JB

if you want to dump to file try :

dump -0uanf - /boot | ssh 192.168.0.169  dd of=/dir/filename

if you want to restore try :

dump -0uf - /boot | ssh 192.168.0.169  restore -rf -
