Here is the scenario I want to set up:

instance #1: "normal" - backup of user PC's and some of localhost to 
local server.  Running now, very happy.
instance #2: What I want.  use sshfs to mount a remote drive (presumably 
through $conf{DumpPreUserCmd} ??), use BackupPC to backup specific files 
from localhost to this remote drive

userpcs -> backuppc (local)
           backuppc (local) -> remote drive mounted via sshfs

Previously I was using Dirvish to accomplish instance #2 via an rsync 
pull, but that machine is no longer available (and the USB drive failed 
too.)
All i can do is a push to the remote drive; that server cannot run any 
server software.

Is this feasible to accomplish?  I've looked briefly at the source code, 
and the code that checks the PID writes the PID & status to very defined 
places.  Wasn't sure how to go about changing things without breaking 
them (not a perl guy - yet.)

thanks
