Need some help with backing up via shell on my host...
I want to back up from my host in a rather unconventional way. My backup file is around 1.4gb, and I thought that if I can torrent it from the host it'd be better... How do I use SSH to take the backup tar.gz file, make a torrent from it, run bittorrent and add it to a tracker?

do you have access to sftp? that is probably the easer option

unless you plan on letting other people download it then a torrent wouldnt make a difference , right?? from what i understand a torrent is downloading pieces of the files from multiple sources, which increases the download speed, in basic speak. it would just be you downloading from the server. FTP would acomplish the same thing maybe im wrong

the easiest way is to do the backup to the server and then FTP it down to yourself, or set the backup to actually save to your own FTP server you could setup locally on your PC (if that is where you are keeping the backup files)
I use to do a dump to my local home FTP server of about 800MB and it would take awhile but I set it up to do it overnight. just check in the morning to make sure it completed and off you go!!

actaully scp would be the easiest because it runs off of ssh
