Yes, ssh works using the ssh-agent. The backups are fine except that they keep accumulating old files. The --ignore-errors is part of my testing/debugging process; it wasn't in the original call. I think ssh is the default transport for rsync now, spelling it out on the command line is just to make sure that doesn't change. > I usually use something like > rsync -avz --delete user at client:/dir_to_backup /backup_dirs/ > manually for backup.
