I tried this on both the backup machine, and the machine to be backed

pages for ssh-agent and ssh-add, and it was not clear to me. The eval
function provides ssh-agent's pid, but I'm not sure how to use it in
this case.

I already know how to run ssh without using a password (i.e. create a 
key that has no password, and scp that key to the other machine). I 
thought there was a better way than to create keys that don't have 
passwords.
