If you need script that not download backups from remote server, but upload local server bakcups to remote server, please check this topic (http://internetlifeforum.com/linux-forums/2526-how-backup-files-linux-server-server-automatically-cronjob/) for slightly better written script.

Script mentioned in this topic generating ssh access key and upload it to remote server (from which backups wlll be downloaded). After first run, edit script and change "sshkeysetup="yes"" to no so only backups are made on next runs.
