Hi,

I use the tipps from
 
http://listserv.sap.com/pipermail/sapdb.general/2002-June/029470.html .

But now i want to use a remote tape ( LTO Ultrium 2 ). 
The following instruction works for me ( **local tape** ).

cat /tmp/pipe | gzip -q | dd of=/dev/st0 bs=10240

Now I want redirect to the remote tape.

cat /tmp/pipe | gzip -q | ssh backup@sapi01 dd of=/dev/st0 bs=10240

I allways get:
  dd: writing `/dev/st0': Invalid argument
  4+6 records in
  4+5 records out
  13+32 Records ein
  13+31 Records aus

And in the logfile i read:
  Aug 20 17:12:50 sapi01 kernel: st0: Write not multiple of tape block size.


Can someone  help me please !
