EMC says it can't be done... but we're a crafty lot... has anyone been able
to fire off an adhoc one time backup via an SSH remote tunnel?  I want to
backup a remotely hosted web server to my corporate NetWorker client...
I can SSH in but that's about it... my NetWorker server is NOT exposed to
the internet, so my outbound is a NAT from our company's shared internet
IP...

Ideally a config that works from the SaveGroup interface would be great, but
I can settle for a cron job like:

ssh -L NNN:uschi1leg01:NNN sudoroot@remotenode "sudo savefs -s localhost
arg1 arg2 arg3"

I tried a few times to come up with nsrports/ssh port forwardings, but I
feel like if someone got this to work they put many nights into it and I
can't afford that amount of effort, so please share if you've gotten it to
work, no matter how convoluted.
