Subject: Best remote backup method?
Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org

I'd like to send the output of the "dump" command to a disk on a remote
system in order to do backups. However, the method of doing this specified
on the "dump" man page (specifying "host:file") doesn't seem to work, and
is also insecure because it relies on rexec. What is the preferred method?
Is it possible to pipe the output of "dump" through FTP? Is there yet a
better way?
