Hello Patrik
I think the simple solution is to backup to a directory to which only
one linux user has access. For our windows backups each Windows client
machine has a separate linux user account on the server and backs up to
its home directory. All users' home directories have 0700 permission. So
only that user (and the linux administrator uid 0) can gain access.

I've setup rdiff-backup to backup a windows computer. The backup
always complete successfully, but the files created on the Linux
servers are set to 0777. Security wise, it's very bad since everyone
able to connect to the Linux server can see by files. I'm looking for
a simpleway to make rdiff-backup create the files with a different
permissions (e.g.: 0700 or 0770)
I've running a command similare to:
rdiff-backup.exe -v 5 --no-hard-links --exclude-symbolic-links
--no-acls --remote-schema "plink.exe -2 -batch -i key.ppk %s
rdiff-backup --server" --exclude-globbing-filelist my-excludes
--include-globbing-filelist my-includes --exclude "C:/**" C:/
ikus...@myserver.com::/home/ikus060/test-winxp-fr
