2.9.xx has this built in for updates.  At least as far back as 2.9.12.  System, Auto Upgrade.  You put the files on one router and the other go get them.
Otherwise, your scripting has to be on another device as MT only offers the FTP server, no client, so you can not have it go get the updates.

As these routers and the e-mail server are internal to my network, I don't see any real security issues within sending myself the files.  Is there something you think we should be concerned about with e-mailing the backups?
