SSHBackup

Create backups from your linux server and download them on-the-fly.

SSHBackup uses simple SSH pipelining to retrieve the data and stores it locally.

How it works

SSHBackup connects to your server via ssh and executes a command or script of your choosing. The command needs to pipe the backup data to stdout, in order for SSHBackup to pick it up and store it in a place of your choosing.

An example would be the following command, which stores all data in the root-directory in a tar-archive, and writes that to stdout.

tar cfvz - / -C /
