So what are the simplest options to back up the Linux hosts? rsync does come to mind, but how to do so securely from each host? I'd consider something via ssh, but that would mean an interactive login, and encrypting individual files on the hosts is not an option.
Rsync's default transport _is_ ssh, and I understood you can't even change that in current versions. That's pretty secure and can be automated...
