Another very happy rsync.net customer!

A note/question to other macOS users:

I have "Require password after screen saver begins" turned on.

I realized that because of this, when my screensaver is on, ssh keys with passphrases (stored in my Keychain) would not work, which would lead rsync to fail.

I ended up using a dedicated passphrase-less ssh key for rsync. Not ideal.

Are there workarounds to have backups run while my computer is "idle'ing"? Thnaks!
