Configurable SSH ip and port for rsync backups #1758

Hello! I would like to propose feature that would allow the user to set a specific ip and port for backing up through rsync. This would be great in scenarios where you want to back up to a server at your home, but you would like not create a dns record for your home ip address and/or use the standard port 22 for the ssh connection.

For example, I run a raspberry pi server and currently I have to create a dns record with my home ip and I have to open up port 22 on my router.

Maybe another approach is to initiate the backup from the raspberry pi and ssh into your MiaB

Yes, that would definetly be possible.
