If you're under Linux, use a VPN, such as: https://www.wireguard.io/ ;
under m$, duno (& don't care very much.)

This means you'll be obliged to reach your server through the VPN
connection when in a home-home configuration; so your VPN MUST be able
to connect like that and preferably not eating your CPU.

And this won't work, even if you know by advance the IP where your
laptop can be reached, unless you open a hole in the firewall &| adsl
box/modem in the home that host you.

Notice that if you usually backuppc@1600Z, you'd better already be
connected at this particular time, unless you wanna shift it.

Under m$, this should be the same, however it depends greatly on your
user's permissions & groups, which can be quite a PITA and depends
on your setup and user's type - notice m$ VPN almost all have large
security problems.

Other possibility: in case of breakdown, ask the nsa a copy taken from
their last incursion ;-p)
