it looks like this functionality exists in the 2.3 stuff. how stable is 2.3? normally, i have no problem at all tracking development releases, but with the backup infrastructure, i have to be a little paranoid :). also, it looks like the 2.3 codebase has a security api which will let me use ssh authentication (which would resolve my other issue about weak authentication of this whole backup process), but i can't see where this is configured or how it works. can someone speak to that? please cc me on responses. thanks again, tyler -- "In philosophy you never hear the expression 'fine, let's move on'.
