I'm in the process of converting from nfs to sshfs on my home-grown file-server/backup-server computer. This computer does not run Xwindows or any other graphical manager. I control it mostly by logging into it using ssh. But when I log in this way, it appears that ssh-agent is not started, and consequently, I cannot use ssh-add on it. I can, of course, use ssh-add on my desktop computer, but that is not where the private key for the backup server is stored. Has anyone confronted this situation and worked out a solution? Advice?
(Please don't suggest that I use some prebuilt backup system that does everything you want. I am special, i.e. especially unreasonable in my goals/needs.)
