remote backup using sftp


hi, i have public/private keys configured for my servers and would like
to take a backup and sftp to a remote machine i maintain in a colo
facility (also configured with public/private keys). can someone
recommend a way to do this sftp of the backedup data to the remote
machine, using a script? essentially my question is how do do the sftp
transfer without manually having to type the passphrase.

thx

.
