Remote Backup Software?

Is it possible to run backups to a remote computer? There is a catch though, I am using NAT, so I have a non-routable IP of 192.168.x.x and the computer that I am backing up from is also running NAT and he is also an address of 192.168.x.x

what do you mean back up? as in back up to a drive at your end or make it back it up to a drive at that end. You can set up a fileshare network, and do a tasksheduler to copy what you want to back up to a share on your computer. If you use NetBEUI to network the IP wont be a problem, since they arnt any.

 

I mean to backup the 36 GB mirrored drives to my HD here at home. I want to make a backup per week so that I always have an off-site backup. NetBEUI won't work cause its not routeable right?

oh i see, over the internet! Hmm, well, i guess you could use VPN. If you find out what port its using, you can set up port forwarding to forward it to the computer you want to connect to exclusivley.

 

I am also looking for a Remote Backup strategy. What I am trying to do is set something up on my cousons computer in Florida that makes it Automatically Dial-Up to the internet and send all the files he has in a specific folder to a folder in my computer (in Arizona, connected to a broadband connection), at a specific time of the week. I have'nt the first clue on how to do this.

Will I need a VPN, if so, where can I buy one, or is it included with windows, and do VPN's work with a Dial-Up connection?

I assume I would use the Task Scheduler to activate the Dial-Up connection, but how do I make it connect automatically to the Default connection without prompting for Username and password?

How would I make it transmit the files without any user-intervention, or would I just have Task Scheduler run a batch file that copies all files to a specific location, If so, what kind of command would I place in the batch file that will transmit the files to a location over the internet.

I'm not talking big files here, just things like saved game files and simple text files.

if someone could just give me a website that will explain some of this I would be greatfull.
