Add "pure" rsync as destination type

Wesley B shared this idea ago

Under Consideration

Hi all,

We would like to see the destination type rsync without SSH keys being needed but with user auth. Please see https://linux.die.net/man/1/rsync .

On our backupservers we use rsync as protocol and transfer data to the servers with pure rsync only with a user and password . This is done on the CLI with "secrets" file.

When done this way, we can allow only access to the location we give in the rsyncd.conf on the backup server for that specific user/server.

As a example, on our backupserver rsync config we have:

[testserver]
        path = /storage/testserver/
        hosts allow = 185.xxx.xxx.xx2, 185.xxx.xxx.xx3, 185.xxx.xxx.xx4, 10.0.40.120

This would mean that the server connecting from any of the above IP's would only be able to access data on /storage/testserver instead of the full server as root and/or we don't have to create users on the backup servers for every server.

Regards,

Wesley
