Another scenario that Backuppc probably does not handle well is backups
over the internet of workstations that are behind a firewall. I was
hoping the remote users could start the backup of their own workstations
using Backuppc:s web interface, but it does not seem possible (even
though I haven't tried it in practice), because Backuppc uses netbios
names to find the remote machine, and netbios names are not very well
routable, I have read. In fact I don't know how this kind of backup
service could be accomplished.
