My preferred way to do this is to add an entry to ~backuppc/.ssh/config: Host backuppc_alias Hostname realhostname Port 222 Compression yes would connect the BackupPC alias backuppc_alias to realhostname, port 222, with compression on. man ssh_config Cheers, Raman ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ BackupPC-users mailing list BackupPC-users@lists.sourceforge.net List: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/backuppc-users Wiki: http://backuppc.wiki.sourceforge.net Project: http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/
