Dumping the remote server to a local box that's in a NATted network.

From the local box, open a reverse tunnel:

 $ ssh -R2222:localhost:22 remoteserver

Now you're on the remote box, so continue typing:

 $ sudo -i
 # /sbin/dump -0uan -f - / | gzip -2 | ssh -c blowfish -o \
 UserKnownHostsFile=/dev/null -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no -p2222  username@localhost dd \
 of=/datadirectory/server-`hostname`-full-backup-`date '+%d-%B-%Y'`.dump.gz
