    No, backup to the centralized backup device/location can only be done when the PC is located on the same local LAN.

    You may be able to accomplish a remote backup by setting up a VPN connection back to your home LAN, but that's a subject that I'm unable to provide details on and it would be totally unsupported.

    are there any plans for this to become a feature?

     

    this is desirable, since I manage my folks computers and we're 500 miles apart.

     

    would be advantageous for disaster-recovery.
