I wouldn't run BackupPC on the remote server. Just do an rsync from the local to the remote. Then you only need an incoming SSH port on the other side. Setup ssh with keys between the two (get it so you can type ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED] and not need to input a password. There are varying degrees of debate about whether or not this is secure, but with proper firewalling (exclude access to port 22 except from "whichever" ip address(es)... http://www.linux.com/articles/113847 (start with the section on Automatic Backups, to configure the above)..
