Doesn't sound very complex to me.
Something like 
tar -cf - /path/to/back/up |ssh other-host 'cat  new.tar'
will do it.

If ssh is working you can use scp by doing

scp localfile [EMAIL PROTECTED]:

NFS mount the volume you want to back up on the second machine, then
run tar.
Well, that would certainly work. Right now I've got the remote machine set 
up as a NFS server and the local machine is a NFS client, but I suppose I 
could set it up to work both ways, and I've already learned some of the 
pitfalls of the exports file.
