Doing semi-complete/complete backups via

Although if that's all you need root SSH access for you can always use the
'PermitRootLogin forced-commands-only' SSHD option.
I'd have thought perhaps a better way of doing backups would be to
make the backup run locally then pull/push it to the destination
server. You can't easily do MySQL dump backups over SSH for example!
