+# A script which will copy the directories /etc and /home
+# into /var/backups/network/backups/example.com/#{date}.  Note that
+# we wanted to get everything - even private keys owned by root
+# on the remote server, so some hacks had to be employed
+#
+# 1. A private key was generated by the client's root account, 
+#    named "rsync-key".  The key has no password.  The public key was copied via
+#    scp to a new user on the remote system "nbackup" (network backup)
+#    who then stores that key in ~/.ssh/authorized_keys.  
+# 
+# 2. But this account still needs root access, so we accomplish this
+#    by adding --rsync-path="sudo rsync" to authenticate as root
+#    via sudo on the server.
+# 
+# 3. A security precaution here was taken: the user was given a very
+#    strong, random password (generated via makepasswd), so brute force
+#    would be nearly impossible.  The nbackup user was also given sudo
+#    access *only* to the command rsync.     
+# 
+# Some Further Security precautions can also be taken: 
+# 
+# 1. Only allow *this* command (run from the client) to be run through
+#    ssh login.  Specify this in the nbackup users authorized_keys file
+# 2. Be more specific in the sudoers file pertaining to the exact specifications
+#    of the rsync command
