For security, you can use an SSH tunnel (Cygwin openssh on the Windows
machine).


Backing up over a WAN connection is only practical if your links are
fast and there isn't much data.  The same goes for verification,
restore, and archiving jobs.  Imaging is likely to be impractical.  I'd
consider building another backup machine and deploying it on the remote LAN.
