Should work. But then you have to serve a disk/directory on the remote 
node and mount it on the local node. That looks different to me.

On other systems one can do something like
   # tar czf - local/ | ssh remote.net "cat >local.tar"
to backup and vice versa to restore files.

Unfortunately BACKUP does not work with VMS pipes. And all the ssh 
clients and servers on VMS I tried, don't support (VMS) pipes either.
