Please don't try this with rsync as will then always write the full

It's not a perfect fit for the use case, but this is run on the backup
host and assumes credentials with appropriate privileges on the remote
host that's being backed up:
# Run new backup
ssh somehost.tld "cd /some/path && pax -w -x pax somedir" \
| gzip -c > /srv/backup/files.pax.gz
Note that gzip is being run locally on the backup host in this case.
Technically, you could compress on the backed up host as well. In my
case, all the hosts are on a local network. I've also used GNU Tar this
way when a suitable pax command wasn't available on the remote host.
