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