What about using a service that will backup the mobile clients to an offsite repository that is accessible also from behind the firewall.
I was pitched something not too long ago about such a service, can't remember the name now unfortunately.
Otherwise you could look into some sort of WebDAV + Fuse setup or some specialized file system that is cached on the client but then syncs with the server in the background when available, then all your backups are local.

Hi Ross,
Backing up behind the firewall is made easy by using an SSH tunnel :)
We already have an offsite backup facility with a 3rd party, but I need more control over the backups, and want to setup an inhouse backup server which where all the client's account (this is hosting accounts & VPS's) be backed up to, then this server will do an rsync with all the data to the offsite backup server.
