Hello,

I think it would be useful if the box-backup client could connect to a linux
server via a standard ssh connection on port 22 (using linux username and
password), and then communicate with the box-backup server via pipes (so no
network connections will be involved).

This would help using box-backup on servers that do not allow listening
daemons or persistent processes but do allow connecting through ssh. The
box-backup server maintenance could be executed manually through a cronjob.

Is this possible in the current version? Is this planned for a future
version?

If not, would you estimate it would be hard (if I try to do it) to adapt
box-backup to function in this mode? Any pointers on where should I start if
I try to do this?

Thanks,
Andrei
