Hi Xuo,

you could connect home using VPN. If configured properly, you may even
get the same internal IP as when you are at home.

Or, you could set up some internal DNS at home, that will return two A
records for your computer - both home and work IP addresses. Backuppc
(Or any other software) will then try both of them to connect.
