I have the case where a laptop user with 150GB of data could be on one
of two locations which are connected by router.  Our network guys do not
want a full backup to run for the user when he's on the opposite end of
router to the backuppc computer.  The ping latency between the locations
is very short (typically under .5ms) so I can't use ping (PingMaxMsec)
as method to avoid this.

Is there another way I could configure backuppc so it only backs up the
computer when it's on specific subnet?

The subnet are as follows:

Backuppc computer : 10.2.X.X
Opposite location : 10.3.x.x

The simplest solution is to restrict backup computers to the backuppc
subnet.

Maybe create firewall rule on backuppc to block traffic from 10.3.x.x?

Running backuppc 3.1.0-9ubuntu1 under Ubuntu 10.04.
