Our Oracle DBAs have a script that will allow them to use scp
to copy a database to a remote host. They'd like to convert it
to copy to tape on a remote host (on our site), and then ship
the tapes (rather than try to scp across the WAN). Straight scp
complains that I am not writing to a directory when I try it:
scp -vC compress_scpdb_jr.sh operator@tapeserver:/dev/nrmt0h/
Sending file modes: C0755 31391 compress_scpdb_jr.sh
scp: /dev/nrmt0h/: Not a directory
and I can find nothing in the FAQ indicating that this will work.
Can anyone suggest any good alternatives that will still use scp,
around which the script is built, to write to tape somehow?
Regards,
