        DO NOT EVER OPEN windows RPC ports to the net!!

        For a remote windows, you must create a vpn or similar...

        You can install openvpn (server or client, you choose who
starts the connection) or install a ssh in windows and use it instead
of the winexe. There are many docs in the net how to install a ssh in
windows and use it with backuppc... but you might need to fine tune
the scripts to add the shadow copy scripts to it. Either ways you will
only open one port with a safer service (don't forget to keep it 
updated)

good luck

Naturally the common people don't want war... but after all it is the
leaders of a country who determine the policy, and it is always a 
simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or
a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship.
Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of
the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are 
being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and
exposing the country to danger.  It works the same in every country.
