You can backup your data securely and use it remotely via tightvnc.

There must be some trick to accessing a FreeBSD server via VNC.
I have done it on Linux but I could not get it to work in FreeBSD.

I am using tightvnc-1.2.9_1 on FreeBSD and the windows versions of tightvnc on win2k and windows XP Pro. On FreeBSD I only have used vncviewer running the server on the winders boxes. I am using FreeBSD 6.2. The only issue I had was the screen quality with XP Pro which went away with the latest version of the tightvnc windows software. On Mac OS/X I am running Vine VNC from Redstone Software.

The thing that I have not tried is going from windows/mac to FreeBSD, using ssh for that. Is that the issue for you?
