Though, to put it in focus, it was deprecated because a brute-force 
attack can be done for $50K (2020 prices/tech):

The OP is using this ssh key for backups across their 192.168.*.* 
network. Is an attacker who *already has access to the LAN*, going to 
spend $50K on hacking your ssh key?

Not a rhetorical question; if you are a prominent politician/celebrity, 
and if there are other users on the LAN (*), then maybe your secrets are 
worth that.
