I can see that it can be somewhat confusing, but in my case I'm actually doing a backup of my server to my workstation. The server is the host with the data to be backed up so root@server and backup@workstation is correct. Glad you liked it!

A comment about one bit I found confusing: in the text, you state that a local, non-root user (e.g. backup) does the backup on the workstation. The workstation is, of course, the host with the data to be backed up. I think you mean that it's root that does the backup on the workstation, and 'backup' that runs on the server. Thanks Thanks for this great tutorial!
