Rsync can run over SSH so there's no need to mount the remote drive first. You just need to set up the authorised keys and public keys in ~/.ssh (on server and client respectively). You can then rsync by running this on the machine to backup: rsync --delete -re ssh /dir/to/backup backuphost:/dir/to/backup/to (only use the --delete once you are sure the files are going where you expect them to go!) This will probably help solve the permissions problem you are encountering too. Adam.
