How do you use tar command for network backup?

Define "network backup".

A Forum search for keywords like, say,
tar pipeline remsh [or ssh]
might find some examples of some things, but
many things are possible.

You can tar to a NFS mount.
Or you can use tar in a pipeline with ssh/remsh.
But tar isn't an enterprise strength backup tool.

Hi,

tar will support maximum 2GB if your data is less then 2GB well you can proceed with tar.

tar network can be used using ssh or rmesh.

Best method is enable nfs and use tar localy.

Which "tar" are you using? Some modern
editions of "tar" have an 8GB limit. Some do
not. Which ones still have a 2GB limit?

There's also "pax".

As usual, many things are possible, but if
you stopped reading in a previous century,
then you may be unaware of some of them.

Of course, it might help to get a little
useful information about the user's
environment, like, say, output from:
uname -a
