Backup SCP using DNS name

[lucas-ferreira]

Hello guys!

I'm creating a backup routine on a corporate firewall. Is it possible to schedule scp backups using DNS names? So I wouldn't have to worry about changing the IP if I did.

Example: backup.com

I looked for some things on the forums but I didn't find the solution, do you know if this is possible?

Not possible unfortunately.

Well wondering why not - Just need to create a small-script may be bash and its pretty much possible. Put it in crontab using Gaia
