Why not do this outside of backuppc's web interface?
* Disable backuppc for the host.
* Create a script to run as a cron job for the *backuppc* user that;
1. creates the vpn tunnel
2. runs backuppc for the host
/usr/share/backuppc/bin/BackupPC_serverMesg backup <hostname>
<hostname> backuppc <0|1>
In the last argument, 0=incremental, 1=full
3. check for the job finishing and then close the tunnel
/usr/share/backuppc/bin/BackupPC_serverMesg 'status
host(<hostname>)'
Parse the output of above as required and exit when "state" =>
"Status_idle"
It's not official, but it should work fine.
NOTE: the backup script should be called as the backuppc user or
breakage may occur.
