This does not seem to work well so far.

I thought about it and can reconfigure my server to free one 4GB disk 
currently in a shadowset, and use that to do the backup which I will later 
zip.
It will just need a reboot (arrgh!) as I have to move the system disk to a 
smaller disk.

Thanks again to all who tried to get zip to work with stdin, maybe 
eventually it will and help others (or even me if I want to skip one step in 
my backup).

Have a good day all.
