[WBEL-users] ssh, root, and remote backups

I aplogise for not being very clear, or completely misunderstanding. I'm 
good at both.

The remote machines are out in the wild outside of our firewall. From 
within the firewall we've been doing something like:

# rsync -essh [rsync options] remotemachine:/ 
/path/to/remotemachine's/backups

I'd prefer to not run the backup from the remote machines, as giving 
access to the backup machine from outside the firewall seems like a bad 
idea. I don't want a compromised box smashing backups. :-)
