Of course, you should have a SSH key (passphrase protection recommended) to allow passwordless login to the server you want to backup - and the public key on the server's ~/.ssh/authorized_keys file.
How to do that can be seen on http://houghi.org/ssh A complete explanation is given there.
Nice page, but it can be enhanced ;-) * Copying the ssh pubkey to the remote server can be done in one step: [1] cat ~/.ssh/id_dsa.pub | ssh user@host \ "mkdir -p .ssh; cat >> .ssh/authorized_keys" * If you use the default filename for your key, you don't have to give the filename with every ssh call (or to use an alias): ssh-keygen -t dsa -b 2048 # without -f filename You can then login with simply ssh user@host # without -i filename * "no passphrase" isn't something I like...
