You can back up remotely with backuppc as long as the server can 
establish a connection to the target host.  You may need to set up a VPN 
or port-forwarding on an internet router to allow the connection.  If 
you install cygwin or CWrsync you can use rsync over ssh to connect.  I 
don't know what Handy.Backup does, but if it creates one big file that 
changes daily, you might be better off backing up the original files on 
the C: drive since rsync would be able to skip any that haven't changed 
in each run.
