Remotes
The remotes section specifies remote zrepl instances from which to pull from / push backups to:
remotes:
offsite_backups:
transport:
ssh:
host: 192.168.122.6
user: root
port: 22
identity_file: /etc/zrepl/identities/offsite_backups
SSH Transport
The SSH transport connects to the remote server using the SSH binary in
$PATH and the parameters specified in the zrepl config file.
However, instead of a traditional interactive SSH session, zrepl expects
another instance of zrepl on the other side of the connection; You may be
familiar with this concept from git shell
or Borg Backup.
Check the examples for instructions on how to set this up on your machines!

The environment variables of the underlying SSH process are cleared. $SSH_AUTH_SOCK will not be available. We suggest creating a separate, unencrypted SSH key.
