This one is really hard to tell since you are the only one that
can see all the details.

I'd try to repeat all the moves of flexbackup by hand. Because
flexbackup is "just" a script that automates things but does not
do anything special itself you can try to repeat every single step
fb does.

Public key authentication.

If I were you I would set all the things up the way that you backup
user could log in to the server as root. There is quite an easy
and safe way to do it. With openssh you can specify a command a user
can invoke if authenticated with a specific public key. Browse
the ssh manual pages an look for 'command=3D' and 'authorized_keys'.
