Hello,
My current (rsync) based backup mechanism uses one-way SSH connection. I
Wonder if could make a switch to DAR and preserve the one-way SSH
connection restriction.

I've read dar_ad_ssh (
http://dar.linux.free.fr/doc/usage_notes.html#netcat_ssh), this explains
how to make a differential backup when connection from backup/flower
host to a storage/honey host is possible.
My case is a little different. My host that need to be backed up have no
idea of the storage/honey host.

The problematic step for me is to execute (on the backup/flower host):

ssh honey dar_slave backup > todar < toslave &

I am wondering if there is a way that I could modify this step so it can be
done only from storage/honey host.
