NX does have many uses, as Les suggested. This might be a good time to try it
out.
If you have an ssh server running on the BackupPC machine, you can use port
forwarding as somebody else suggested:
ssh -L 8080:localhost:80 user@backuppcserver
This will log you in as "user" on "backuppcserver". As long as that session is
open, your local port 8080 will be "forwarded" to port 80 on
backuppcserver. So in your web browser, go to this address:
http://localhost:8080/backuppc
This will let you use a heavy graphical web browser locally, while using
minimal bandwidth.
