I run a blog using wordpress, and am trying to back up the database
according to their instructions, with the command:

mysqldump --add-drop-table -h localhost -u wordpress -p blog | bzip2

I can do it locally, but when I try it from ssh I get an error:

bzip2: I won't write compressed data to a terminal.

I get a similar error with gzip, so this is not bzip's fault. Is there a way
to do the backup remotely with this command?

Thanks,

Z.
