*problem; on server1, I'm going to have two directories: ~/archive and
~/workingdir. I want the scp to move the files from server2 to
~/workingdir, tar and zip them as a file name with a date attached (like
backup06072004.tgz) to make the filename distinctive, then move that
file from ~/workingdir to ~/archive. The filename would need to be
distinctive both to allow for reference when needing to restore a
snapshot and also to keep the archives from overwriting each other when
moved over.
Consider the following script. You may want to switch to using scp rather
than rsync, and you may choose to hardcode the SSH key rather than passing it
in as the first argument. You might also want to change how $DESTROOT is set
to match the paths you want to use. Finally, you will want to add something like:
cd ${DESTROOT}/..
ARCHIVEFILE=/home/SOMEUSER/archive/backup`date +%Y%m%d`.tgz
tar cf - ${CLIENT} | gzip --best ${ARCHIVEFILE}
...just before the final done. Test things out by hand for a while (or on a
machine-by-machine basis), and then set this up in cron.

# In other words, if you configure one host at a time to backup okay
# by adjusting SSH keys and such, running ./backup.sh _ident_ *.com
# at a later date will backup all of the hosts manually configured
# automaticly. If a host is down, it will be skipped without its
# files being deleted by the rsync --delete or rm commands
# (if enabled; see below).
