Hi Eric, I've just tried it with:

scp -i /path-to-file/file.key /path/to/filename username@HostnameOrIP:/path/to/backup/dir

and it asks for a passphrase then copies the file. I guess I need some way to cache the passphrase so it doesn't ask for it?

If I do it the other way I may not be able to use a normal host as they may not give me ssh access :-/

Are there any other methods we can use apart from SCP?
