Following some advice on previous threads I've been playing with 'dirvish' for backing up some machines. One problem I've come across is how to deal with dynamic IP for a client machine - anybody got a workaround for this? Or know of a backup system that I can run from the client (dynamic IP, not up 24hrs/day) to backup to a server (static IP, runs 24/7)?
