Download your backup from http://$ip:32956/backup-$dt.tar.gz.enc

Download your backup with scp using: scp root@$ip:/root/backup.$$/backup-$dt.tar.gz.enc 

Extract your backup on a target host with scp using: mkdir /restore.$$; cd /restore.$$; scp root@$ip:/root/backup.$$/backup-$dt.tar.gz.enc /dev/stdout | openssl enc -d -aes-256-cbc  -md sha256 -pass "pass:$password" | tar xz

Unencrypt the backup with: openssl enc -d -aes-256-cbc  -md sha256 -pass "pass:$password" -in backup-$dt.tar.gz.enc -out backup-$dt.tar.gz

Should you need openssl for windows, you may download that.  For example from https://curl.se/windows/

The backup includes mysql databases.  You may prefer to exclude them, and run a MySQL database dump instead.
