something like this should work for the backup

/usr/local/bin/rsync -av --rsh="ssh -l username -i /path/to/key"
host.domain.tld:/path/to/files /local/path/to/storage

there are more options, omitted for brevity, check "man rsync"

I have a series of these in a file, executed nitely via cron

Subject: ssh and keys


Hi guys!!

I'm trying to backup a server over ssh, but I don't want to type the
passphrase. I've been making the *interchange* of keys between the both
machines, but this doesn't seem to work. I'm using a FreeBSD machine
(updated sshd) and a RedHat 9 machine (updated sshd).

Some ideas?

Cheers,

   fabRiX
