I figured since the machines were on the same 
network in the same office rcp would be simpler 
and sufficient.

I use scp in a cron job to copy the server back up

offsite backups, and yes, did all the stuff 
creating the keys, etc, but I was hoping to get 
away with something simpler in the office.
