Also, it appears that it requires the allowed directory to be specified in authorized_keys. Mine uses an external list of allowed directories, so I don't need lots of lines (and separate keys?) in authorized_keys in order to deal with the several directories I back up per host.

It may do the job; it doesn't AFAIK explain why the options are undocumented :-)

And I do my backups (using dirvish) as root, using a key with a forced command.

FWIW, that forced command is here:

It's rather unpolished and undocumented, but comments very welcome :-)

I've also had an issue due to some server-side-only arguments to rsync being undocumented, which means I can't validate them, and basically have to accept anything ... I'd love to know why this is or has to be the case :-) I didn't get any particularly useful answers back in January 2019 ...

Cheers,
Richard
