Here is a script I use to backup everything relevant on my small dedicated server. Backup is stored on my home machine 
accessible via dynamic dns. SSH connection to my home machine is authenticated via keys. Any suggestions on the script 
are wellcome.


#!/usr/bin/env bash


LOG_FILE="/var/log/evorion-backup.log"
BACKUP_HOST=david75.dyndns.org

echo "" >> $LOG_FILE
echo "Evorion backup utility started at: `date "+%F %T"`" >> $LOG_FILE

# Must be run as root user

if [ "$UID" -ne "0" ]
then
         echo "[`date "+%F %T"`] Error: You must run this script as root!" >> $LOG_FILE
         exit 67
fi
echo "[`date "+%F %T"`] User id check succesful" >> $LOG_FILE

# Compress directly into ssh connection
echo "[`date "+%F %T"`] Dumping and archiving started" >> $LOG_FILE
