Mounted filesystem for backup (low bandwith) - optimize sshfs read/write transactions
Solved

I have just established to mount my home server via sshfs as a backup source. While there are obvious drawbacks It works nicely so far and I want to continue to give it a try.
In view of the more limited bandwidth I have come to realize that the cloudron backup service creates a box.tar.gz on the mounted (limited bandwidth) network share and then copies this file from the mounted share to another directory on the very same mounted share.I am wondering if this transaction can be optimized in order to be mindful of low bandwith situations?!? E.g. create the box. tar.gz file in a tmp directory on the cloudron server and then copy it to the network share (that should save the read and write transactions from the network share, shouldn't it?)
