Backup Central

I set up a backup server to do unattended backups to it.
I created the config file per the unattended instructions and the first box
backs up as expected.
But I am confused as to how to get the second box to do the same?

Do I need to create a separate config file for the second and subsequent
boxes?
If so, how do I tell rdiff which config file to use?

Thanks

no, put them all in the same config file, just use different names. the
"primary-backup" i use in the documentation is just an example.

for example my backup server /root/.ssh/config contains multiple entries
such as:

host zim-backup
hostname zim
identityfile /root/.ssh/id_rsa_backup
compression yes
cipher blowfish
protocol 2

host gir-backup
hostname gir
identityfile /root/.ssh/id_rsa_backup
compression yes
cipher blowfish
protocol 2

...

then you use "rdiff-backup zim-backup::/ /backup/zim" and "rdiff-backup
gir-backup::/ /backup/gir" as appropriate to backup the different hosts.
