That's the way I do it here, too.
Laptop will be backed up through OpenVPN. OpenVPN will be started with
system boot, so as soon as the laptop has Internet he's connected
through OpenVPN to the BackupPC server.
As soon as BackupPC wakes up, he schedules a backup for the laptop, who
is connected. Backup runs fine. And as long as there is no Internet
connectiong the BackupPC server just tells me "No ping".
Works great!
No need to perform a manual backup.
Greetings
Christian
