From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

There's a somewhat more secure way to go about it.
A backup script on the host in question runs periodically as root and makes a local copy of the files owned by the backup user. The central host then makes a backup of the not-root-owned files on the host in question. It adds two extra steps but you don't have to set up SSH access for the root account.
