# Be careful, this feature uses arrays!

# The resulting archives will be named like this: 
# $BM_ARCHIVE_PREFIX-$BM_PIPE_NAME.$DATE.$BM_PIPE_FILETYPE
# If you specified a BM_PIPE_COMPRESS option, the resulting filename 
# will change as expected (eg, .gz if "gzip").
#
# Here are a couple of examples for using this method:

# Archive a remote MySQL database through SSH:
#    BM_PIPE_COMMAND[0]="ssh host -c \"mysqldump -ufoo -pbar base\"" 
#    BM_PIPE_NAME[0]="base" 
#    BM_PIPE_FILETYPE[0]="sql"
#    BM_PIPE_COMPRESS[0]="gzip"

# Archive a specific directory, on a remote server through SSH:
#    BM_PIPE_COMMAND[0]="ssh host -c \"tar -c -z /home/user\"" 
#    BM_PIPE_NAME[0]="host.home.user"
