If you want to backup all directories under /home directory on server A to another server (server B), use the following script for automated batch backup:

cd /home
for dir in $( ls )

#echo $dir
tar czvf /disk2/$dir.tar.gz $dir
scp -P 22 /disk2/$dir.tar.gz backup@serverB.com:/backup
rm -rf /disk2/$dir.tar.gz
fi
