Personally I use a combination of applescript and cli.
With applescript you create a script that mounts the remote afp volume.
Eg in script editor
On run
try
mount volume "afp://server/sharepoint" as user name "name" with
password "crypt"
on error
--
end try
End run
Personally
have you looked at amanda? Uses it's daemons to transfer the data, and
you can select where to comress (on client or server).
works well when used with hfstar on MacOS X ...
restores are normally done by the admin and currently its a cli...no
plans AFAIK to make this a gui.

On Fri,
I need some advice about integrating my FreeBSD server with some Macs
running OS X.
I have a server running FreeBSD 5.3 with NFS and netatalk enabled, a
Powerbook G4 running OS X 10.3.7 and they are connected through a
wireless network. I used the Powerbook to administer the server using
ssh,
