 The steps for creating a backup account for a member are:
 
-1. Find a backup server with available space.
-2. As `root@BACKUP_SERVER` do
+ * Use iz.mayfirst.org (for now).
+ * Edit the iz.pp file in puppet
+ * Add a stanza in the following format:
+
 {{{
-useradd -m -U MEMBER_NAME-sync
-}}}
-3. Create a backup directory for the MEMBER_NAME-sync user at /home/members/MEMBERNAME-sync/backups
-{{{
-mkdir -p /home/members/MEMBER_NAME-sync/backups
-}}}
-4. Change ownership of that directory to the MEMBER_NAME-sync user.
-{{{
-chown MEMBER_NAME-sync:MEMBER_NAME-sync /home/members/MEMBER_NAME-sync/backups
-}}}
-5. login as the MEMBER_NAME-sync user.
-{{{
-su - MEMBER_NAME-sync
-}}}
-6. Create a symlink to the backup directory from the member's home directory.
-{{{
-ln -s /home/members/MEMBER_NAME-sync/backups backups
-}}}
-7. Add the rsa key for the user or their monkeysphere/gpg user id to the /home/MEMBER-NAME-sync/.ssh/authorized_keys file or /home/MEMBER-NAME-sync/.monkeysphere/authorized_user_ids file respectively.  Then run
-{{{
- monkeysphere-authentication u MEMBER_NAME-sync
+  m_backupninja::server::configure_member_backup{ "$group":
+    username => "$username",
+    ssh_key => "$ssh_key"
+  }
 }}}
 
-The member should now be able to ssh into the server with `ssh MEMBER_NAME-sync@SERVER_NAME.mayfirst.org`.  If they can, then your task is complete!
+$group should be replaced by the member's short group name (if you are not sure what that is - you can login to their mosh. It's the name in their sites directory that comes after /home/members/ (e.g. May First's directory is: /home/members/mayfirst.org/sites/mayfirst.org and "mayfirst" is our group name).
+
+$username should be the login used on the backup server. The easiest format is to add "-sync" to their group name (e.g. mayfirst-sync).
+
+$ssh_key should be the ssh public key that provide to you, including the "ssh-rsa" part at the beginning and (optionally) including the {{{user@domain}}} tag at at the end.
+
+ * Commit your changes, push the changes to origin and then to iz.
+
+The member should now be able to ssh into the server with `ssh $username@iz.mayfirst.org`.  You may direct them to the [wiki:faq/backup-setup user's backup help page].
