hi, I create user rsyncbackup and add to sudoers file.
rsyncbackup ALL=NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/rsync Must also edit the RsyncClientCmd & RysncClientRestoreCmd $sshPath -q -x -l rsyncbackup $host /usr/bin/sudo $rsyncPath $argList+ also user will still need authorized_keys file for ssh with no password access from server to client.
