Or search for backuppc rsync sudo Basically, backuppc will login to your ubuntu machine as a normal user (ie, username backuppc with locked password, ssh keys setup, and no special privilege, other than it can use sudo for the command rsync blah blah... Then just configure backuppc to call ssh which will call sudo, which will call rsync, and your done. See the search results for the exact commands needed, I've never done this, just seen it discussed many times, and know it can work very well.
