Howto redirect output from a terminal

[Michael Kahle <michael.kahle@scc-wi.com>]

I am not sure how to ask for what I want here.  But, here goes.  I was using
dump to make a backup of a directory on my computer.  This was started from
a terminal in X.  As it was running I could see in the terminal window all
the status output from the program.  Good.  This backup job took a long time
to complete and so I went home while the backup was still running.  When at
home I ssh'd into the box to see if the dump process was still running, it
was.  Then I got to thinking, how can I see the output of this program in my
current ssh session?  Is there a program that exists to allow me to redirect
the output of a program running in a terminal to another terminal?  I hope I
am explaining this clearly.

Thanks,

Michael
