	Amanda's #1 sin is a horrible network protocol with a totally
	unbelievably stupid security model. If someone were to rewrite
	it to work over SSH, I'd be much happier.

	These days, I'm using this:

	rsync --bwlimit=500 --exclude-from FILE --stats -a --delete \
		--numeric-ids -e'ssh -c blowfish -i /PATH/ssh-key' \
		/ USERWITHUIDZERO@REMOTEHOST:backups/LOCALHOST
