Backuppc (it's in portage) uses rsync over ssh, so you only need to open a single port in the firewall. Optionally, backuppc offers an http interface to monitor its status, so maybe you'll want to open port 80 as well. Use an encrypted filesystem to store backups, and you should be done. Note: the above setup probably needs some work if you want full automation. -- [email protected] mailing list
