Especifically a script which can access to a directory called /Backup/Online (CD command) and that everything that is inside that directory, is converted in and archive .tar (tar -cvf command) with the name and date of the previous day.

Sending as ssh using script is a whole new topic. You should enable public private keys for that purpose between the servers. Once you are able to do successfully, all you need is one simple last command, in the above script

#You need IP or FQDN AND target directory AND userID on that machine
ip=192.168.0.254
dir=/path/backup
tuser=auser
scp $backupName $tuser@$ip:$dir
