Running a Command Remotely

This is a little off topic, but I haven''t been able to find an answer
elsewhere.  I need to run a command on another machine on my LAN.  I have a
backup server which does weekly rsync backups of the other machines.  But when
the time comes for it to be backed up I do an rsync push to one of the other
machines.  When that''s done I must initiate a BTRFS snapshot of this
machine''s backup on that remote machine.

So from my backup server I need to run a command on another machine, hopefully
securely.  Anyone know a way?  Backup server has root privs on all machines with
public key.  I understand the risks, and have been careful with security on this
machine.
