Please check on the source server that you indeed have an ID for root:

[root at XYZ ~]# ls -la /root/.ssh/
drwx------  2 root root 4096  3. Jul 2020  .
dr-xr-x---. 8 root root 4096  3. Okt 17:09 ..
-rw-r--r--  1 root root 9292  1. Feb 2021  authorized_keys
-rw-------  1 root root 6367  7. Nov 2018  id_rsa
-rw-r--r--  1 root root 1424  7. Nov 2018  id_rsa.pub
-rw-r--r--  1 root root 1356  3. Jul 2020  known_hosts
-rw-------  1 root root 6367  7. Nov 2018  root.pem
-rw-r--r--  1 root root 1424  7. Nov 2018  root.pem.pub

There should be an "id_rsa" and "id_rsa.pub" present.

On the target server make sure that SSH is configured to allow "SSH Root
Login" and also has "Public Key Authentication" enabled.

You can easily check that and configure it in the 5210R GUI under
"Network Services" / "Shell & FTP".

Let me know if that helps or if you need further assistance.
