The main reason to pull is with hard linking of the saved files,
e.g. rsnapshot - only possible with a pull operation. Security is
also a little better, as you have a single authorized command key
on the remote machine so the backup machine can be secured better
(behind a firewall).

Eh?? What are you two talking about?
I've been doing push backups with hardlinks using rsnapshot for a long
time. My understanding is that this is much *slower* than pulling them,
but it certainly *works*.
