If using cron, you might like to put a passwordless public key in the
authorized_keys file on the sshd daemon side.  Would you want to put a
public key generated on a Windows machine in your Linux box's
authorized_keys file?  I'd do it the other way around.  Alternatively,
use "command=" in the authorized_keys file to restrict the connection to
doing the backup operation.  See 'man sshd' for the syntax.
