This works the other way round as well. You can start the ssh connect on a remote machine and execute the mysqlbackup stuff. The output still goes through the ssh link and can be piped into a file on the remote machine.
Since the MySQL Dumps are plaintext, you might want to use -C to reduce traffic.
