You shouldn't have to, rdiff-backup does it on its own. When you execute |
| 10 |
e.g., |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
rdiff-backup /home username@××××××××××××××.com::home |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
rdiff-backup will connect via SSH and launch that command specified in |
| 15 |
the authorized keys file. |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
For that to work, you'll need password-less SSH to be the default when |
| 18 |
connecting to the backup server. Here's what I have in my ~/.ssh/config |
| 19 |
to force public key auth to backup.example.com: |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
Host backup.example.com |
| 22 |
Hostname backup.example.com |
| 23 |
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/backup_rsa |
| 24 |
IdentitiesOnly yes |
