Safekeep is designed such that the same script can be used on both the 
backup server (which initiates backups from clients), as well as on 
individual clients to handle client specific tasks such as 
dedicated ssh key generation and client-side backup processes such as dump. 

As a result, on Fedora safekeep is packaged in such a way that Fedora 
clients which want to communicate with a safekeep managed backup server 
can choose to install the safekeep-client subpackage to ensure correct 
safekeep client configuration. This safekeep-client subpackage does not 
itself install any additional files at this time. But it does ensure 
that the correct client side applications are in place for safekeep 
managed backup services.

It is recommended that all computers acting as safekeep clients install 
the safekeep-client subpackage, even though at this time it is 
technically optional if the necessary components such as an ssh server, 
coreutils and util-linux are installed correctly on the client Fedora 
system. In future version of safekeep the safekeep-client package may 
become necessary for correct client operation.
