The patch breaks the ability to backup remote machines.
The additional directory created for security reasons is only created locally,
but not promoted to the remote machine.

I just ran into this bug and am looking into a patch for it. I see the metadata
for this package lists mholzer. Are you still maintaining this package (as this
bug is assigned to maintainer-needed) or can I take it over? This bug has been
haunting my remote backups for a while and I finally have time to look into a
fix.
