Brackup::Target::Sftp - backup to an SSH/SFTP server

Backup to an SSH/SFTP server, using the Net::SFTP::Foreign perl module.

In your ~/.brackup.conf file:

  [TARGET:server_sftp]
  type = Sftp
  path = /path/on/server
  sftp_host = server.example.com
  sftp_user = user

At this time there is no 'sftp_password' setting - you are encouraged to use ssh keys for authentication instead of passwords. Alternatively, you can enter your password interactively when prompted.

type

path

sftp_host

sftp_port
