You can back up remotely with backuppc as long as the server can
establish a connection to the target host. You may need to set up a VPN
or port-forwarding on an internet router to allow the connection. If
you install cygwin or CWrsync you can use rsync over ssh to connect. I
don't know what Handy.Backup does, but if it creates one big file that
changes daily, you might be better off backing up the original files on
the C: drive since rsync would be able to skip any that haven't changed
in each run.
