If you'll be using SSH, then yes, because the BackupPC server needs to be able to login on the clients. > Is there incidentally a simple test to determine > if ssh is working as required by BackupPC? See if the BackupPC user can login on the client without entering a password. Switch to the backuppc user on the BackupPC server: # su -s /bin/bash - backuppc Try to login on the remote client: # ssh usern...@client You need to do this at least once after adding a new host, because you need to okay the SSH key fingerprints the first time. > As far as I can see, one has to exchange keys > between backuppc on the server and root on the clients. > Is that correct? The public key of the backuppc user needs to be in the authorized_keys file of the user account on the client.
