...leset | ssh host.domain.tld "cat > /backup/tarfile.tar.gz d. I cannot get tar to pipe find'ed files to the remote server over ssh. My current command line looks like this. find / -name "*.conf" | xargs -t tar -zcvf - | ssh \ hostname.domain.tld \ "cat > /var/spool/lvm_backups/hostname.city/confs.$(date +'%Y%m%d').tar.gz" I have tried replacing "tar -zcvf -" with "tar -zcvf - {}" and "tar - zcvf {}" to no avail. The problem is that tar does not see the pipe to ssh and exits with signal 13. What am I missing? Regards, Jim...
