Databases always use the ploi system user to connect over SFTP, so only a single SSH key needs to be authorized on the receiving end. But file backups for the same sites use the system user assigned to that website. I would prefer to keep using separate users for each site, but still use the ploi system user for the backups. This prevents me from having to manually whitelist a new SSH key for every file backup I configure.
