That's what the above does..  I can back up your box to my box with the 
above command.

natebox#ssh root@harrybox "lbu package -" >harrybox.apkovl.tar.gz

I log into your box, run "lbu package -" on your machine, (the - writes 
the lbu archive to stdout) which I then redirect to the file 
harrybox.apkovl.tar.gz on my machine.

I now have a local copy of the remote machine's config.

 From your box's perspective a remote machine pulled and stored your 
config.
