Create it w/o passphrase.

It's not a big security risk, just ensure that the access of the user
in the fw machine has restrictive access over its home and that it
can't su/sudo to root.

Any backup application that sends data unattendedly will have the same
security concerns, from my point of view it'ld be senseless to start
now a discussion about this, again.
