Restricting rsnapshot access for clients pushing to central

Post Restricting rsnapshot access for clients pushing to central 
Hallo, Nico,

Du meintest am 23.06.11:

I'm looking at an environment of roughly 100 boxes, all to back up to
an rsnapshot server. I'm very familiar with rsnapshot, but can't
necessarily get the owners of the boxes to allow me to install an SSH
key with root access, even wrapping the key in a 'validate-rsync.sh'
setup to assure it is used only for rsync. I've also reviewed the
rssh and chroot tools in the past, and they're unsuitable for the
scattered servers.

I'd prefer 100 local rsnapshot installations which all push their
backups to an external server.
This external server needs no rsnapshot, it only needs ssh, cp and mv.

But in my installation (3 clients push their backups to 1 storage
machine) every client has root access to the storage machine, every
owner can see all backups on the storage machine. Is that ok in your
environment?

Viele Gruesse!
Helmut
