Using 2 layers of ssh forwarding is clever, but it is only necessary
if you can't route directly to the client. That is, if your 2 subnets
have unique IP addresses and the VPN link handles routing (including
the route back from the client), you don't need to do anything
different from your remote server.
Thanks Les.
I am currently testing backing up one client machine from the other end
of the vpn. I used the client machines ipaddress instead of it's
hostname. The ssh key was copied and the backup began as expected. So,
the different ip subnet did not matter to the backuppc machine. (First
time I had ever tried backing up thru the vpn.) I also expected the
backup to be slower thru the vpn than the local backuppc machine there
and it appears to be that, slower.
I figured, for now, keep it simple and just try this and see what
happens.
When the backup completes I will compare the two backuppc machine client
data. I'm looking for redundancy with two backups per client machine in
two different geographical locations, one local lan and the other at my
house (other end of vpn.) Backup has been running about three hours now.
Like you said, the two subnets are well translated by the vpn link.
As far as his "string", I'm still studying what the "options" mean and
might his way be a faster backup method or not. These are only thoughts
at this point.
I believe in study, learn, and consider the outcome.
