It is difficult to offer further suggestions without better
understanding what you are trying to do. I thought Nicolas offered a
good response based on what you asked.

If you are looking for something more along the lines of starting the
backup manually from A, but then letting it run unattended on B with
notification when it completes:

A$ ssh B
B$ nohup rdiff-backup ... | mail -s "rdiff output" address@hidden &
B$ exit
A$

Are you asking about unattended startup? What exactly are you trying
to do?

Best,
