They're equivalent. One small advantage is that you can push directly
from your working computer; to pull from the backup computer you have to
ssh there first.
However, pushing to a central repository is the workflow generally used
when multiple people are working on a project. You may be only one using
the repository, but if you follow the common procedure, it'll help if
you ever find yourself working in a multi-user project.
If a bare BACKUP is more reliable or less trouble-prone than
a non-bare BACKUP, kindly explain to me, and I shall change.
The reliability should be the same, but you cannot push to a non-bare
repository. At least not in the standard configuration, but git being
git I'm sure there's a way to override that.
