Touch Book pre-ordered

I’ve pre-ordered the Touch Book from Always Innovating.

Restricted ssh/rsync access for backups

My first setup of a remote backup system using rsync looked somthing like this: backupserver# rsync -uav root@remote:/ /mnt/backup/remote/ This was automated using cron and ssh keys. However with this setup the backupserver is granted more acces than needed. In short if the backup server account is compromised the remote server will too.
