I need to rsync the contents of /var/spool/postfix/rshepard from the defunct desktop's backup drive to the new desktop. I understand that rsync uses ssh and root is blocked from using ssh. As a user I cannot write to /var/spool/postfix/. What is the approach that will allow me to transfer these (and similar system) files from the backup drive to the new desktop?
Found the solution while working to get the backups working. I added root to sshd_config's AllowUsers. Since root on the desktop works would use rsync on only the LAN there's no external exposure as far as I can determine.
