Have you tired the Webdata  backup/restore? It uses FTP, i realize that is not ssh, however, the file for the backup/restore when using Webdata with FTP is encrypted with tripple DES  (3DES) which is pretty darn strong encryption, and you need passwords and such with it as well. I am sure someone could write a script do open an ssh and do what you want, but they way i figure it, Webdata backup/restore is very secure and already works. Just my $.02.

So, in the terminal I type webdata, then in gui I type:

ftp.IPnumber:/home/user/Desktop
username
user password
key

There are errors re "Cannot Stat: No such file or directory" -- even though I did save a test item in home/dsl.  

It is easy enough to create a shell script to scp the home directory to a remote machine.  However, to be automatic one might config with cron and with sometimes cumbersome rsa-key implementation.

Looking at webdata's script source, I see flua -- very interesting, a mix of forth and c? Bravo! I thought I saw assembly type stuff.  Is this what makes DSL so tight?
