Call same function using 2 different arguments
I have a script that uses 2 arguments. I want to call the function part within this script using these same arguments. Below is what I came up with below script so far, any guidance would be helpful. Thank you!

Code:
cat backup.sh
#!/bin/bash

function usage {
	  echo "USAGE: $(basename $0) <host1> <host2>"
	  exit 1
}

function backup_run () {
ssh -q <host> "test -x /tmp/abc"
if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
	echo  "ssh -q <host> /tmp/abc"
fi
}

if [[.....]]; then
	backup_run <host1>
else
	backup_run <host2>
fi

ssh-argv0

SSH-ARGV0(1)                                                BSD General Commands Manual                                               SSH-ARGV0(1)

NAME

     ssh-argv0 -- replaces the old ssh command-name as hostname handling

SYNOPSIS

     hostname | user@hostname [-l login_name] [command]

     hostname | user@hostname [-afgknqstvxACNTX1246] [-b bind_address] [-c cipher_spec] [-e escape_char] [-i identity_file] [-l login_name]
     [-m mac_spec] [-o option] [-p port] [-F configfile] [-L port:host:hostport] [-R port:host:hostport] [-D port] [command]

DESCRIPTION

     ssh-argv0 replaces the old ssh command-name as hostname handling.  If you link to this script with a hostname then executing the link is
     equivalent to having executed ssh with that hostname as an argument.  All other arguments are passed to ssh and will be processed normally.

OPTIONS

     See ssh(1).

FILES

     See ssh(1).
