You could tar what you want to backup and pipe that through an rsh
or ssh connection to a remote machine.
I'm running in a safe environment so rsh is ok over here. I'm running
a script regularly to make a backup of the most important stuff on my
server system. It does little more than making tar files of individual
directories which are written over the network to a NetBSD system. Here
is an example:
tar cf - /etc | gzip | rsh gerhard@sigma "dd of=/backups/iris/etc.tar.gz"
I haven't looked at the ssh way to do it, but I guess it is not that
different once things are set up.
