Thanks again Tino, I've stopped the backup.
If i type this command (with - - C)
/usr/bin/ssh -q -x -n -l pcambra 192.168.1.37 env LC_ALL=C sudo
/bin/tar -c -v -f - -C /home/pcambra --totals
I get this error:
/bin/tar: Cowardly refusing to create an empty archive
How can make a tar more brave? ;P
Thanks!
