Its actually not. 192.168.X.X is not routed through the internet
so it will be very hard to "jump" on it, especially if you mount it
only during the times if backup. Furthermore there is another firewall
in front of it (read Zwicky's book) which blocks ANY access .... etc
What does amcheck say regarding that?

As soon as I hit send I figured it ..... You need to include in
the diskfile:
IP /peterson/backup root-tar
IP /peterson/bin root-tar
etc .....
and it will work ........
