Is there some way to backup remotely w/out using local disk at all?

I already know about the --script to vzdump, and I use it regularly to move backups off to our "backup" server, but I have a couple servers (Dell 1950's w/4 drives RAID-10) that don't have any extra disk space locally to make backups.

Is there some way (short of NFS mounting the backup directory) that I can just tell vzdump to create the backup *ON* the backup server (over SSH for example like tar can)?

Thanks for your help!
 
just add a NAS share as vzdump target, e.g. a NFS share. you can do this via gui. see Configuration/Storage
