Martin, Sorry for being maybe a bit too brief in my post, but I already mentioned (both in the post above and in my original mail) that reverse forwarding of ports 9101 and 9103 _does_work: That means that 1) yes, I can telnet to local host port 9101 and 9103 from a DOS prompt 2) yes, I can transfer data on those reverse forwarded ports (I've verified it via bining temporarily some tcp servers on those ports on the server side and checked I can connect to those servers from a Windows client) .
Again, the very same backup procedure is tested and works for quite some time for a dusin or so UNIX clients (Linux / OpenBSD/ FreeBSD ).
