Remote Commands Over SSH

Your backup filesystem has access to the following checksum commands:

Remote checksums are run in this manner:

ssh 1234@usw-s001.rsync.net sha256 some/file

pg_dump -U postgres db | ssh 1234@usw-s001.rsync.net \ "dd of=db_dump"

or perhaps:

mysqldump -u mysql db | ssh 1234@usw-s001.rsync.net \ "dd of=db_dump"

The other remote commands that can be used over ssh are:

echo, cp (GNU), ls, mkdir, pwd, chmod, ln, mv, rm, rmdir, touch, tail, chgrp, groups, id, passwd, quota

For example, you can run something like:

ssh 1234@usw-s001.rsync.net touch some/file

and then:

ssh 1234@usw-s001.rsync.net rm -rf some/other/file

The 'passwd' command is special, as it requires a '-t'

ssh -t 1234@usw-s001.rsync.net passwd
