@ -481,6 +481,17 @@ Security Considerations
Opening up SSH access this way can pose a security risk as it effectively opens remote access to your
backup server on the client even if it is located outside of your company network.
To reduce the chances of compromise, you should configure a forced command in ``authorized_keys`` to prevent
anyone from performing any other action on the backup server.
This can be done e.g. by adding the following in ``$HOME/.ssh/authorized_keys`` on ``mybackup`` with proper
path and client-fqdn:
::
command="cd /home/backup/repos/<client fqdn>;borg serve --restrict-to-path /home/backup/repos/<client fqdn>"
All the additional security considerations for borg should be applied, see :ref:`central-backup-server` for some additional
hints.
