In the time-honoured tradition of replying to onself after RTFM I do it like this:

bash-2.05b# /sbin/dump -0uan -f - /usr/local | gzip -2 | ssh -c blowfish \ 
mylogin@wherei.wantto.dump.to dd \
of=/backup/dumps/level0/28022005/dump-usr.local.l0.gz  

/backup is an nfs-mounted external HD

I wonder if it would pipe to gpg -c rather than gzip.
