Dear folks,
We need to back up a proxy server (in http accellerator mode) in the
DMZ of a firewall. I want to use ssh, dump and restore to do this. The
tape host is a Solaris 2.4 Sparc, is inside the firewall, and is
available locally. The proxy server runs RH Linux 6.1 and is physically
quite a long way away. The firewall rules allow incoming connections
from within the firewall to port 22 on the proxy server; I can ssh to
the proxy server from the tape host So how to back it up? Would
something like this do the job:
tapehost# ssh -f proxy dump -0 -u -b 20 -f - /dev/sda2 | dd bs=20b
of=/dev/rmt/0
Do we need any other firewall rules to make this job simpler?
