You shouldn't have to, rdiff-backup does it on its own. When you execute
e.g.,
rdiff-backup /home usern...@backup.example.com::home
rdiff-backup will connect via SSH and launch that command specified in
the authorized keys file.
For that to work, you'll need password-less SSH to be the default when
connecting to the backup server. Here's what I have in my ~/.ssh/config
to force public key auth to backup.example.com:
Host backup.example.com
Hostname backup.example.com
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/backup_rsa
IdentitiesOnly yes
