What I found that works on v1 (and may work on v2 as well) is to install
Hamachi LogMeIn on all of the computers (including the server). Create
your network, and set them all to Hub/Spoke mode (as opposed to just
spoke). Then wherever you are, you'll have a "local" connection to the
server, and it will perform the automatic backups.
You still can't do a restore over the Internet though, as you need to be
on a local network for it. But at least you'll have the backups (and
can still view and pull files out of them).
Someone else will have to test this with Vail, as I don't have a system
to test it with right now.
Have a great day:)
Patrick.
