Oh I'm really sorry, I didn't read your answer correctly.
I thonght that you've got an usb drive with keys in order to just connect
over ssh.
Now it's clear.
So, thank you for your help. I'll search some informations about ssh-agent.
I'll test it this evenning if I've got the time.
Have a nice day and thanks a lot for your advice.
Regards,
Romain

I didn't say you need an USB drive. It was just my use scenario (since
I've got no server at home, just a laptop and there isn't much space on
it).

My advice: Forget the passphrase thing. It doesn't provide you with any
additional security. You may gain a little security by using ssh-agent
and entering the passphrase manually if you startup BackupPC (note: you
would only enter it once, then it would be stored in the ssh-agent and
is used automatically by the ssh's started by BackupPC).
Focus on securing your BackupPC server - it's critical anyway since it
collects a lot of data from a lot of systems. Backup systems need to be
at least as secure as the most critical system they back up!
HTH,
Tino.
