.B \-r, \-\-remote=\f[I]host\f[]:\f[I]path\f[]
Initialize not only the local repository, but also the remote repository
given by the \f[I]host\f[] and \f[I]path\f[].
This is not necessary if you intend to back up to the default location
on the server (ie.
a blank \f[I]path\f[]).
The connection to the remote server is made with SSH.
If you\[aq]d like to specify which port, user or private key to use for
the SSH connection, we recommend you use the \f[C]~/.ssh/config\f[]
file.
