If you're going to do a backup, I would think you'd want the original
files, rather than a tar file on the remote machine. In that case you
would do:

tar -jcp /home/joe | ssh -l remotelogin remotemachine "tar -jxfv \
-C /somedirectory"

It seems I also used -O in the first tar command and - in the second tar
command to indicate stdout and stdin, but it seems that these are the
defaults now.
