With sudo instead of ssh in the global RsyncClientCmd you'd get local
backups regardless of the host(s) defined.   Note that these can be
overridden in the per-host configs, though.   Normally you would
change only the local host's per-host config to use sudo, leaving the
others with the stock ssh command to work remotely.    Also, note that
the RsyncClientRestoreCmd command posted isn't symmetrical with the
RsyncClientCmd - it would still use ssh.
