I have a perl script which logs in, creates a backup, then FTP's in and transfers the backup to an offsite location. It uses telnet now, but could use ssh if you wanted. It actually cycles through a list of IP addresses and does it for each one. It won't remove "all" the old files, but it just rewrites the same one every few days. And it creates exports, not backups. Of course this could all be modified, by altering/adding the MT script commands within the script. Let me know if you are interested.
