You can use sshfs/curlftpfs to mount your server and then use BIT to
backup mounted point.

Bug description:
It would be really useful to be able to backup FROM a server (webserver) down 
to my local desktop PC.

Doing an incremental backup over ftp or SSH would be the perfect solution for a 
lot of webdesigners. We need a reliable backup where we can go back in time in 
case of a break-in on the server, a harddisk crash, a bug in the system that 
cause failures etc.

It is not enough to do a simple sync that would overrwrite the local copy. This 
would be disaster if the original got corrupted as you would end up with a 
corrupted backup.

Also, it is important that it is possible to only backup the changed files as a 
full backup would use too much time and too much bandwith.

Just wish it would also be able to do the same with the MySQL database :-) But 
I guess that is a totally different talk...
