If you need to backup from say.... customer's corporate LANs and the like, I think the best option is to setup a VPN at your location, and have your users connect to the VPN anytime they need to do a backup and disconnect once they are done.
I use cisco systems vpn client to one of our routers at HQ
for one of the remote offices ,where broadband is simply not available,
we use a dialup AOL type account and then from there connect to the VPN
so the remote office can connect to the central server and it
works like a charm.

WE DONOT USE THIS SETUP FOR BACULA PURPOSES, trying to back up more than a few KBs of data over a 56kb dialup isp connection would not be practical, I'm just trying to ilustrate that such a set up should work.
Hi,
I've though about a setup such as that, but would that _really_ work? How
about firewalls it might be behind etc? I would still need a way to get
traffic through as far as I've understood...
