Secure shell and secure copy. They replace telnet and cp.

Yes this is a good idea. Mount your CD-RW and do a pg_dump to the
mounted disk.

Remember that you need to drop the database and do a restore from the
dump file each time.

I missed your first post. Why do you have high long distance charges? I
would have the database in one location and access it from the distant
site. Maybe through a web front end.
