Hi,

> I'll (almost) always connect to the internet from behind a firewall. 
Where's the issue of being behind a firewall as long as we can start a
connection from the laptop to the BackupPC server?

> So the BackupPC server can never connect to my laptop, because:

As soon as you use OpenVPN as several times suggested here, the BackupPC
server *knows* the private IP address of the laptop and can connect as
usual.
> * Even if the BackupPC server would know my ip-address, then the request

Wrong as the VPN connection works as a tunnel. You can even use OpenVPN
through http-proxy...

Greetings
