IMHO, the right way to do this is to use the "forced command" option in
the authorized_keys file. See the manpage for sshd under the
"AUTHORIZED_KEYS FILE FORMAT" section and create a key on the backup
server that is forced to run only one command and then use the private
portion of that key without a passphrase on your client.
That is very interesting. Does that mean I could have a key pair
without a passphrase? The account on the public server could have no
shell access? A connection would automatically execute a command
without a shell? Do you have an example of how a remote rsync or other
type of backup would use this feature?
