Yes. I used to have a script create batch files in /tmp, each with the full name of the incremental dump file to sftp. But I've found rdist. (OpenBSD uses ssh by default.) Look at rdist(1) EXAMPLES section, & http://www.benedikt-stockebrand.de/rdist-intro_en.html e.g: ~postmaster/distfile: HOSTS = ( box1 box2 box3 box.... ) bin: ~/bin -> ${HOSTS} spamd-trap-addresses: /etc/mail/spamd.trap-addresses -> ${HOSTS} special "spamdba add -l -s" ; mx-backup-recipients: /etc/postfix/recipients.list.box0 -> box5 special "logger -p mail.notice rdist of ${REMFILE}" ; .... ... .. e.g: postmaster's crontab: RDIST_LOGGING='-l stdout=info,change,notice,nerror,ferror,warning' 32 2 * * Mon-Sat nice -n 18 rdist ${RDIST_LOGGING} -o verify bin spamd-trap-addresses 5 */8 * * Mon-Sat nice -n 15 postfix-generate-recipients-list && nice -n 15 rdist ${RDIST_LOGGING} mx-backup-recipients .... ... ..
