If you can use SSH to transfer your backup maybe you could authenticate
with ssh keys.

you should have to generate postgres ssh keys being login as 'postgres'
with ssh-keygen program, then you copy you public key on your backup
server and the authentication will hapend between the 2 servers by
comparing the keys ...
