Backup from a remote server to a local host via ssh

Hi,

I've been using backintime for a while now but I've always used the local backup.
I'm setting up a server data storage to backup my work data (generated on a remote server).

I usually ssh the remote server to work and scp manually the files I need to backup but the amount of files becoming very important I wanted to use backintime to do weekly snapshots using the ssh option. However, it looks like this option only goes from the localhost to a remote server and not the other way around. Is that correct?
If so, is the backup from remote server to localhost something considered for future releases? (short term? long term?)
If not, is there a way to do it in the current version of backintime?

Thanks for your help.
