yes!
you must shut down the remote database before the backup though. either
that or you must create a different directory and use that database's tools
to do a dump and then backup the dump. do you have rsyncd on the remote
system? if so, that is an ideal way to back you data up. you can use the
pre_dump and post_dump commands to start/stop the database OR to initiate
the dump. hopefully you have sshd installed on the database machine and can
exchange ssh-keys.
