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. - Jussi -- Jussi Hirvi * Green Spot Topeliuksenkatu 15 C * 00250 Helsinki * Finland Tel. +358 9 493 981 * Mobile +358 40 771 2098 (only sms) jussi.hirvi at greenspot.fi * http://www.greenspot.fi
