I was referring to using rsync for Linux clients, not Windows. For the 1 Windows server I archive, I use rsyncd. I have not even tried rsyncd on Linux. Setting up SSH keys is easy: On BackupPC server, as root: ssh-keygen -b 2048 -t rsa Set no passphrase. Still on the server, do this for each client, entering that client's root password. ssh-copy-id -i /root/.ssh/id_rsa.pub r...@client This is equivalent to copying /root/.ssh/id_rsa.pub from the server to each client's /root/.ssh/authorized_keys file. Note that both .ssh and authorized_keys must be readable/writable/executable by the user only, not group/other.
