We do this for laptops, as they are not in at night when the others (desktops 
and servers).

I have a script that I connect to using telnet so the user can interact.

The script creates a temp group for this client only and starts the group.

after the backup is finished (or aborted) the user gets an email

(script is availible on demand, I run my server on solaris, the script is 
perl)
