I have Backuppc working finally on my Ubuntu box - working like a charm for 
pc's and our servers.

Problem:

We have 7 users that are on laptops, they take them home every evening and 
sometimes travel so they aren't even in the office.

Is there a way to setup some kind of a test to see if a given laptop is 
connected to the local network (not when they are on travel obviously) and 
if the laptop is present, do a full or incremental backup at that time - 
every day?

Sometimes even I do not know when they are in the office.

Any advice on where to look for this info (if it exists) would be much 
appreciated.
