(i have seen the new version does have a easier solution but i can’t upgrade now)
Hmmmm…Well, I suppose you could backport the changes from the newer version, though I don’t immediately see where the ssh stuff comes into play, so I can’t point you to it.
You’re gonna have to change the source code to get it to do what you want, if you’re not willing to upgrade.
You could also make your backups locally, and then use a cronjob to copy the backup files to your other server. Not ideal, but wouldn’t require you to dig into the source.
Any specific reason you can’t upgrade to the latest version?
