Error description
You want to backup to a remote host, so you set TAPEDEV as documented for this case: host_machine_name:tape_device_pathname Ontape archive works fine in this case. However, if you additionally choose to use a backup filter, and set BACKUP_FILTER - for example to /bin/gzip - the archive will start, but after displaying "100 percent done" the ontape hangs, until you decide to abort it using something like Control-C. In case of a logical log backup the last visible message is "Do you want to back up the current logical log? (y/n) n"
Local fix
A possible workaround is to mount the remote filesystem locally, and set TAPEDEV accordingly.
