Backup Central

Using rsync (via ssh), default is aes encryption, which is expensive.

I wanted to try setting

Host * Ciphers arcfour,blowfish-cbc

I put that in user backuppc .ssh/config, but that didn't seem to work (according
to the output of ps, not showing the args to ssh).

I did find that putting it in

$Conf{RsyncArgs}

as

'-e "ssh -c arcfour,blowfish-cbc"'

(note the quotes)

appears to be working (I can see the args in ps, and the backup is running).

Sss is very pick about permissions. Make sure the config file is
owned by backuppc and not accessible by others. If you don't mind
changing the default for other users on the server you can make the
change in /etc/ssh/ssh_config.

I normally use the following to enable arcfour for a particular target:

$Conf{RsyncClientCmd} = '$sshPath -q -x -C -c arcfour -l root $host
$rsyncPath $argList+';
