and on server.com also allow only one command. This can be tricky, if you have varying options but i solved this by using a perl wrapper for rsyncing my servers onto the backup machine.
You do "client push" of files for backup (instead server poll), yes? How do you do that? I found it is not so easy using rsync, because this likes root permissions on the backup host because maybe you want perserve UID and such. Having root-rsync access likes to limit the access to same backup-tree, at least. Does you perl-wrapper protects against this? I mean, the cilent can rsync to e.g. /.../backup/client-hostname/ as root, but not below /etc and such? In that case, would you share your script?
