Since you haven't changed the sshd config in /etc/ssh, then the default is to refuse root logins. You'll need to edit that, then restart sshd. Or, a slightly better option would be to create and push your backups to a non-root user, so a compromise one one box doesn't automatically result in root on the other. Eric
