I have 2 servers one that backs up to another. One of the servers has
the directory NFS mounted from the first. Since the permissions in NFS
come from the originating file system, they transfer onto the second
box. Obviously the user has to exist on both machines for that to
work. Then I just rsync -au --delete the NFS share to the backup dir.
Since the delete flag could wreak havoc, I also have a script that
wraps up rsync and checks to make sure the NFS share is mounted. This
eliminates the ssh overhead and related. While it is not as secure as
ssh for obvious reasons, It does what you are looking for I think.
