[backup]
Why not readonly? I prefer to allow as few other machines as
possible to *change* files, so would have each machine connect to
its partner and download the files to back up. This way any
outsiders who screw arround cannot change either machine's live
files -- just the backup.
Erm, they are not read only because that is what the server connects
to to send its files for backup.
I would also use "hosts allow" there to prevent random Internet
machines from connecting, or (better) use ipfw to accomplish the
same thing.
I also run some backups from my home connection, so that's not really
workable.
For extra bonus points, whip up an ssh private key and restrict
the matching public key to running the rsync 'server' process in
~/.ssh/authorized_keys, but this is rather complicated.
I do that for ssh sessions, but never seen a need to jump through the
hoops for rsync.
