Backuppc (it's in portage) uses rsync over ssh, so you only need to open |
| 10 |
a single port in the firewall. Optionally, backuppc offers an http |
| 11 |
interface to monitor its status, so maybe you'll want to open port 80 as |
| 12 |
well. |

Use an encrypted filesystem to store backups, and you should be done. |

Note: the above setup probably needs some work if you want full |
| 16 |
automation. |
