I am glad I am not going mad and the only one that has to make sure i 
get things right. My orginal point was, with dump and tar to a file, 
making a mistake is not large problem (less of course you are trying to 
be clever rather two of them in a pipe and didn't do a cd or ssh 
collectly to get to the destination). Command like scp may have source 
and destination arguments in that order however the remote and the local 
can be either way around.

Sometimes I really wish there was a "read only" root type user on a unix 
system, all the access to read, no ability to change.
