What about using a service that will backup the mobile clients to an
offsite repository that is accessible also from behind the firewall.
I was pitched something not too long ago about such a service, can't
remember the name now unfortunately.
Otherwise you could look into some sort of WebDAV + Fuse setup or
some specialized file system that is cached on the client but then
syncs with the server in the background when available, then all
your backups are local.

Hi Ross,
Backing up behind the firewall is made easy by using an SSH tunnel :)
Communications is easy, but that's not what I'm talking about, I'm
talking the management and coordination of backups from behind the
firewall.
We already have an offsite backup facility with a 3rd party, nbut I
need more control over the backups, and want to setup an inhouse
backup server which where all the client's account (this is hosting
accounts & VPS's) be backed up to, then this server will do an rsync
with all the data to the offsite backup server.
You might find this to be a Herculean task that even if implemented,
impossible to support.
